Learning Reading HubHey there! I'm Laura – an author, YouTuber, blogger, and the creator of the "Learning Reading Hub" platform. I created this space to dive into the world of reading instruction and to shout from the rooftops about how vital it is to use the right methods for teaching reading. I've got a TEYL certification (Teaching English to Young Learners), plus a Journalism degree from the University of Navarra in Spain, along with a Master's Degree in Communication.
I've always loved digging into research, jotting down my thoughts, connecting with people, and sharing what makes me tick. With a background in marketing, digital projects, and the education scene (especially language learning), I'm all about wearing different hats.

Now, I'm all about channeling that passion (without sounding like a know-it-all!) and sharing my journey. My mission? Making it easier for those who are on the same path I once was.
My heart's with my family and the amazing Learning Reading Hub project. I live with my husband and two little ones, raising them in a bi-lingual environment (English and Spanish).

It is both alarming and sad to see how many parents think they have done something wrong, and are tired to see their children getting frustrated when trying to read. These parents are just discouraged by how their kids are just trying to guess the words in front of them instead of reading them. And, […]
Before learning to Read… Learning to read is a complex task. It is actually very different from learning to speak. Learning to read doesn’t happen naturally, as speaking does. And it doesn’t happen all at once. There is a constant progression in the development of reading ability over time. But before learning to read your […]
