Here's what our valued clients have to say
”My son has been attending this reading program twice a week for the summer and the progress has been amazing! His confidence and reading skills have grown so much in a short time. We are so happy with the program and highly recommend it!"
- Allison - Mother of a 6 year old starting grade 1
”Can’t thank Pattie enough for this amazing reading program! My daughter had been struggling with reading and lacked the motivation to even look at words. We started the program at the end of the school year, and the difference has been incredible. Just two weeks before school starts, she’s reading daily without a fuss, excited to find and recognize words everywhere. Her confidence is growing every day.”
- Christine - Mother of 8 year old Girl
”My granddaughter has been a student at Curran Reading Corner during the summer of 2025. She was given one on one instruction twice a week for one hour each session. Pattie the instructor and owner of Curran is exceptional. Pattie's teaching method has made a huge difference in my granddaughters understanding of what it takes to become a successful, confident reader. My granddaughter is 10 years old and has been struggling in school. She is now 100 times more fluent. Her comprehension, penmanship and spelling has improved by leaps and bounds! Pattie also stressed the importance of review and controlled reading on the days that we were not attending tutoring. I forgot to mention that my granddaughter loved her time with Pattie and most important, she is retaining all that she has been taught over the summer. The best thing we could have done for my granddaughter, was to enroll her in Curran. Bravo Curran Reading Corner!!"
- Grandma of 10 year old girl
”Earlier this year we decided to take a proactive stance on our special needs son and his inability to read, and try The Curran Reading Corner. He has fallen through the cracks at every level in the traditional education system. By taking the time to figure out what works with our son, and how he learns, Pattie has raised his reading levels astronomically! Her patience and creative methods have made my son a reader! He reads signs, menus, texts! It's a whole new world for him. We could not be happier, thank you CRC!"
- K - Mom of 15 year old boy
”Our eight-year-old son had been struggling with literacy to the point that he was placed on an individualized education plan. In February 2025, we started taking him to CRC twice a week, even pulling him out of class for those sessions. We believed those hours were far better spent working towards mastering literacy than struggling through lessons he couldn't keep up with.
Before CRC, he was falling behind in class, spending most of his time on independent projects without making real progress in reading. That frustration was starting to show up in his behavior as well. By August 2025, his reading level had jumped from senior kindergarten all the way up to nearly grade four, which is his current grade. The transformation has been incredible.
His confidence in reading has skyrocketed. The frustration and dislike he once had for school are gone. Now, he happily practices for about 15 minutes a day at home—often through games—and spends an hour twice a week with his teacher, Pattie. He even enjoys it! He's reading over our shoulders, ordering from menus at restaurants, and sharing bedtime stories with his siblings.
We couldn't be more amazed at the results. His love for reading is growing every day, and so is his confidence."

”Wow! I can't say enough amazing things about Mrs. Pattie and her business! She is phenomenal at what she does, she is amazing with my daughter, patient, kind , extremely knowledgeable, and just all around wonderful to work with! My daughter looks forward to having her come every week to work with her on her reading skills! She is in the Eager Beavers program and this past summer has learned all her letter sounds and is currently working on learning to read. I love all the skills ,focus and determination she is learning through Mrs. Pattie!
Mrs Pattie, takes learning to a whole new level through engaged and fun learning that keeps my daughter focused and wanting to learn throughout her 60 minute session! I couldn't think of anyone else to recommend if you child is showing signs of being ready to be challenged and learn ( like mine) or if your child is needing that one on one learning to help strengthen their reading skills! Every child deserves to know they are capable of more and can achieve any thing and Mrs. Patti is doing just that with her programming. Allowing her students to feel confident in being able to read, learn and reaching their goals! If you're looking for someone that cares and has your child's best interest then Curran reading corner is what your looking for!"
