Hi, I'm Amity — literacy specialist and homeschool mum of three.
I’ve spent over a decade helping children become confident, joyful readers.
I blend professional expertise with real unschooling experience. The guidance I give you is grounded in the Science of Reading combined with what actually works in a homeschool environment.
When literacy feels like play, feels like connection, feels like real life? Children don't just learn to read and write. They fall in love with it.
Are you pacing the living room, wondering if you're doing too much, or not enough?
The frustration can be overwhelming. You have to figure out what to teach and when, navigate the fear of doing it wrong, and resist the endless pressure of comparison.
Maybe you feel like you don’t know where to start. Maybe you want your days to feel natural and free, but you’re afraid of missing something. Maybe you’ve been waiting for reading and writing to just click, and you’re starting to realise that’s not quite how it works.
Maybe you feel all of ithings, and you’re close to giving up.
These aren't signs you're failing your child. They're signs you've been trying to fit resources built for classrooms into a home that was never meant to look like one. The approach was wrong. Not you, not your child. And you are not alone. I’m committed to guiding you on your journey to raising children who are skilled and joyful readers and writers without sacrificing the beautiful, unique homeschool rhythms you’ve created.

What homeschool mums are saying.
Real families. Real joy.
“The Nestwise teach your child to read course is such an awesome foundation that gives you all the informatino you need to get your child started with reading. I love how it combines the science of reading research in a way that any parent can understand with the practical applications of how to leverage this information in your homeschool whether you’re completely child-led or more structured”
“We did the first activity and right away my son grabbed the letters he knew to make his name. When he had more capacity we started talking about the letters/sounds together and he blended his first words and was so excited he started screaming “I can read” haha!”
“I loved the simplicity of the activities, both in terms of how quick and easy they are to set up and integrate into daily life, but I also love that the activities are such a fun, low-pressure way to introduce concepts that are actually quite complex, in a behind the scenes sort of way. I think what I’m trying to say is that my son would be learning without realizing he is learning.”
