We were searching for a program to give our daughter a leg up in reading, and we couldn’t be happier. Leanne is kind and patient, and our daughter genuinely looks forward to her tutoring sessions. We’ve seen tremendous growth in her reading skills, progress that we know will benefit her for years to come. We highly recommend both this program and Leanne!Posted on Google Megan RitcheyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Leanne is a wonderful educator! My 5yo struggled to blend sounds when we started working with Leanne. Two months later and she’s through the kindergarten curriculum, starting on first grade materials. She loves going to class and working on her assignments (genuinely). It’s so fun to watch her become a confident and joyful reader.Posted on Google Derek FrazierTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Leanne has been a blessing. She has been working with our son, who had really struggled with reading for awhile. We've seen so much improvement, that even his school teacher has noticed. Definitely recommend.Posted on Google Jona MiddletonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Leanne has been a great addition to my boys' education! She has had patience with them and has taught them so much. It is extremely important to me that my children be strong readers, and I feel like Leanne is helping make that a reality! We are so blessed to know her and be apart of her program.Posted on Google Drew KristolTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working with Leanne has been absolutely transformational for my son Austin. Reading was always a challenge for him, especially with fluency, spelling, and recognizing word codes and patterns. He often felt frustrated and unsure of himself, but everything changed once he began the Read with Leanne program. Leanne’s kindness and patience made all the difference. We are Florida based and did all of our lessons through Zoom, yet she was so engaging and interactive that she held Austin’s attention every single time. She created a warm and encouraging environment and made the learning process fun and exciting. Austin genuinely looked forward to his lessons, which was such a gift to see. Now Austin cannot stop reading. His fluency and reading comprehension has improved dramatically. It has been incredible to watch his confidence and love for reading grow. I am so grateful for the foundation Leanne has given him. Read with Leanne is truly exceptional, and I cannot recommend her enough.Posted on Google Michael LeggTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. LeAnne is awesome! She is conscientious about our daughter’s abilities and caters lessons to her. Mimi has grown so much, and reading is now exciting for her. She loves Ms LeAnne and comes home and wants to make sure she gets all her studies done! Thank you!Posted on Google Susan LeggTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My daughter has progressed nicely and now she ENJOYS reading. Leanne is very attentive and has a great program for helping her improve her skills. Highly recommended!Posted on Google Mike MizrahiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ms Leanne was a gift sent from above for my kids. The way she is able to connect with each of them individually helps capture their attention and their hearts. The turnaround I have seen not only in my kids ability to read, but also their DESIRE to read is phenomenal. The only thing I regret about it all is not signing them up sooner. Thank you so much Ms. Leanne for helping make two new avid readers in my family!!Posted on Google Krystel FletcherTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Leanne has been tutoring my six-year-old for the summer and already I see improvements! What gets me the most excited as a parent is to see his confidence growing and his excitement to learn with Leanne.Posted on Google Rachel MayerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have been with Read with Leanne since March 2025, and it has been an incredible experience for both my son and me. We began homeschooling after facing challenges in the traditional school setting. The school had reported that his reading was approaching a second-grade level, but we soon realized he was not even at a kindergarten level. As a third grader, we were concerned it would take a long time for him to catch up—but that hasn’t been the case with Read with Leanne. Her scientific, research-based methods have proven to be highly effective for my son. The program she uses, the engaging lessons, the fun prizes, and her understanding of his need for sensory breaks have all contributed to a positive learning experience. She also incorporates hands-on interaction with her many animals and plants, which he can help care for during breaks. This not only gives him a chance to recharge but also makes the learning environment even more enjoyable. My son truly looks forward to his sessions, and we are so grateful for the progress he’s made. My son truly looks forward to his sessions, and we are so grateful for the progress he’s made. I highly recommend her services—several of my friends now bring their children as well, which has created a wonderful connection and community between our kids.Load more
Scheck Hillel Community School in North Miami Beach has implemented yoga as a way to deepen and reinforce pre-literacy skills in Early Childhood students.

The program’s instructional activity is designed to help the students visualize the story, resulting in strong comprehension, while obtaining the physical and mental health benefits of yoga as a form…

Leanne Weinbrot of Scheck Hillel Community School teaches yoga poses to her class of 3- and 4-year-olds as she tells stories of bunnies and crabs escaping the clutches of wolves and crocodiles — all while holding a beaver puppet named Babs. The yoga poses she shows the students match the vocabulary they learn from the stories. Weinbrot said she believes incorporating motion into the classroom makes the lessons stick. Weinbrot, also a first-grade teacher at the K-12 school,…
