"We moved to Southlake mid-year and right away my kindergartner felt behind her classmates and insecure about her reading ability. In just a few sessions, Mrs Forst helped my child feel more confident and her attitude about reading completely changed. Mrs Forst's program is serious but her lessons are fun. We highly recommend her!"

"Ginger did a wonderful job with our son's reading skills. My son was behind in his reading level entering first grade, so we had Ginger teach him over the summer. She worked with him and now he is all caught up. Ginger did an amazing job keeping my son engaged and building his confidence with both reading and writing. She also gave us things to work on in between lessons and had informative websites and apps to help even more. Thanks to Ginger my son entered first grade well prepared and confident."

"We feel truly blessed to have Ginger in our lives. My 6 year old son couldn’t read when he entered kindergarten and we thought it was no big deal. But we quickly learned that children in Southlake are expected to have some reading foundation before they start kindergarten; otherwise, they’ll be struggling to keep up with their classmates. Unfortunately, we didn’t find Ginger until the last month of school. But in that last month, he made tremendous progress. Now he finds reading fun and a cool challenge. By continuing to work with Ginger over the summer, he will enter first grade with the confidence he needs to excel in his studies. Ginger also tutors my 4 year old because we wanted to make sure he didn’t have the same reading problems as our older boys. Given the progress he’s made with Ginger, we have no doubt he will be one of the super stars when he enters kindergarten. Ginger is disciplined and focused with her instructions and the kids LOVE working with her!!! You’ll be amazed at the progress your child will make with her."

"Last week my twin boys started kindergarten and were both assessed at a level 3, which is exactly where Ginger had tested them and exactly where they need to be to have a successful year! I could not be more thrilled with their progress. In just six months, they went from barely recognizing letters to not only knowing all their letters and letter sounds, but to read and develop reading comprehension skills! Ginger took the special care to find out exactly what would be expected of my boys at their school and make sure that she gave them all the tools they would need to succeed and have the confidence to grow and learn more."

"Several friends had recommended Ginger to me when I discussed the challenges of teaching our youngest child to read. Because I had successfully taught our older children, I persevered for months but with little progress. She began kindergarten as a Level A reader who was reluctant to take risks sounding out words and constantly found excuses to delay reading. After her initial assessment with her classroom teacher, I realized that we were going to need additional help at home. Calling Ginger was the best decision I could have made. She quickly established a wonderful rapport with my daughter, and created a just-right challenge environment that allowed her to grow in skills and confidence. Her reading ability truly blossomed and in four months she progressed to a Level F reading level. Our reluctant reader now loves to read to anyone who will listen...siblings, grandparents, even her dolls. I am so grateful to Ginger, and just wish I would have called her sooner."

"Ms. Ginger is an incredible reading specialist. When my son started with her, he knew his sight words but was having difficulty reading a book. Working with Ms. Ginger helped him immensely. He has taken off with his reading. He is now at the top of his class and his teacher is recommending him for the Gifted and Talented Program at school. This is all due to Ms. Ginger. We would recommend her to anyone that has a child that needs help with reading. She is amazing!"

"Ginger is an amazing reading specialist. She worked with both my 4 year old and 7 year old girls. I feel like Ginger brought my 7 year old child back on track in school and helped her far more than any other program she has been in. My 4 year old is going to be one of the youngest in her Kindergarten class so I wanted to make sure she had a good start. Not only does she have a good start, she tested one of the highest for reading at her Pre-School. She now has a love of reading and writing."

"Our daughter was having a hard time keeping up in school and seemed to have a slower start in her pre-school than other kids in her class. After working for a short time with Ms. Ginger we have seen clear and measurable results and so has her school teacher. She looks forward to Ms. Ginger coming over and her learning sessions are a "treat" and something she looks forward to. She has made great strides and we thank you."

"Last year, we had tried several other tutoring services to help our daughter with her reading challenges. We were at our wits end after spending lots of time (and money) on other options without much improvement. Then we found Ginger Forst. Her gentle, kind, and very positive method of teaching has helped our daughter tremendously. We were most impressed with the dramatic improvements in her reading level in such a short time."

“Midway through the school year, we learned our son was struggling with reading. Concerned he may not be able to move on to second grade, we knew it was necessary to take immediate action. Ginger accommodated our schedule and arranged for an assessment of his abilities in reading and writing. She presented us with her recommendations and developed a program tailored to our son’s needs. With three sessions per week, Ginger was able to help him not only meet but exceed acceptable reading levels for first grade, which in turn helped boost his confidence and interest in reading. Within one month, we have seen tremendous progress and we can’t thank Ginger enough for her dedication and influence.”

“Ginger has been working with our six year old for several months now. He has shown great improvement in his confidence and desire to read. We were concerned whether or not he would be truly ready for school this fall, but with Ginger's help we have no doubt he will be able to hit the ground running. We are so glad we were able to give him the extra lessons he needed."
