Vision
We at Eureka Educational Consultants are working toward a day when all students will be fluent readers at their grade level. We want every student to be able to gather information from grade level text and to enjoy reading.
Our Mission
Our company assists schools and districts in creating high-quality, research-based reading plans that address the needs of all students. We strive to create an environment that supports and encourages reading as a preferred activity. We believe in enlisting the support of parents and the community in achieving this mission.
Why We're Important
“To create tax payers, not tax recipients.” Students who read at grade level are much more likely to graduate from high school and go onto postsecondary education, or to choose a trade. These learners are the ones who will go on to get jobs and support the American way of life. They are much less likely to be incarcerated or on public assistance.

Service Model
I meet with educational institutions and listen to their needs. I realize that educators are trying to rebuild and enrich their instructional programs in order to combat learning loss. In order to support them, I use what I call the “3 Little Pigs” approach:
- Identify and intentionally keep the “brick house” practices that yield results, based on data
- Identify and strengthen the “wood house” practices that need additional implementation support
- Identify and replace the “straw house” practices that are not effective, based on data
