"My sixth grader's confidence in his writing ability grew as a direct result of Allison's ELA class. The weekly class held him accountable but also gave him the space to stretch himself in a non-threatening way. It was a perfectly balanced challenge."

All three of my children have taken ELA classes with Allison at Foxwood Reading Room over the past year. Allison meets each of them (and all the students) where they are individually, while creating an engaging and joyful online classroom experience. The tools she has developed over the course of her career challenge each student and draw out critical thinking and in-depth reading skills that the kids didn't even know they had. We're grateful to know about and participate in her classes.

Our family has used Allison's ELA for 3 semesters. I have 2 neurodivergent kids with writing disabilities. My 14 year old has been really positively challenged in her writing skills. Allison encourages deeper thinking and more developed writing without making it feel overwhelming or discouraging. I've seen real growth in both her confidence and willingness to push herself creatively and academically.

For my 11 year old, the class has provided comfort and community. She feels safe participating, sharing ideas, and learning alongside other kids. That sense of belonging matters so much, especially in online learning spaces, and Allison creates an environment that feels welcoming, engaging, and supportive. We look forward to continuing to use her ELA classes as we move through middle and high school.
