2-minute videos

We know how kids’ attention spans can be.  That’s why we keep our videos short. Small wins to build your kid’s confidence.

to learn to read

Think of us like your kid’s personal reading tutor.
We’re NOT overstimulating.  We’re NOT a video game. We only do ONE thing:  teach your child how to read.

hi, I'm Lauren

Meet Lauren, she’s the teacher and voice behind Kickstart Reading.

As an elementary and special education teacher for more than 10 years, Lauren has always LOVED teaching reading.

In 2017, Lauren decided to extend her passion for teaching reading to outside the classroom. She teamed up with her brother, Rob, and together they developed Kickstart Reading.

Lauren’s philosophy has always been that kids excel when they are encouraged, having fun, and gaining confidence. She brings this same approach and positive energy to Kickstart Reading.

Lauren’s also a mom to three kids, Brody (10), Jake (8), and Liv (4). She knows first hand how busy life can be. That’s why the Kickstart Reading videos are only 2 minutes long.

The truth is that kids already get screen time, so why not give your kids screen time you can feel good about?

”Katherine is full on reading now. I credit you!”

-- Katherine, age 4

“Lauren’s voice is so soothing and encouraging. My son gets excited to read now!”

-- Sam, age 4

“I was unsure at first if my son was too young for the videos, but he is really engaged watching them! He is already learning his letter sounds!”

-- Campbell, age 3
