About Dr. Deirdre Cruz
Hi, I'm Dr. Deirdre Cruz. A literacy researcher, diagnostician, educator, and mom. I help families understand how children learn to read and provide practical, research-based strategies that fit into everyday life.
A Personal Note
I understand how confusing and stressful it can feel when your child struggles with reading or spelling—or when you want to give them the best start and aren’t sure what that looks like. At Reading Start, you’re not alone—you have a partner who listens, guides, and supports you every step of the way.
