R.E.A.D. Intervention

Jennifer Cerra is the founder of R.E.A.D. Intervention. She has been working with students as an educator since 1998. Jennifer received her B.A. in English Literature from Boston University and her M.Ed. in Elementary Education from Lesley University. She is a certified reading specialist and structured literacy practitioner who received training through Fairleigh Dickinson University, an accredited IMSLEC graduate level program. Jennifer has also authored four teaching resource books for Scholastic on using reading strategies with students in grades 2-6. 

After working in the public school sector for over 20 years, Jennifer decided to dedicate her passion for literacy instruction to private students struggling to read and founded R.E.A.D. Intervention. Based on R.E.A.D.’s success with students, she was approached by educational leaders and asked to provide in-person professional development on using evidence-based practices. In order to deliver the content to a wider audience in a cost effective manner, R.E.A.D. created online learning modules and resources to support the delivery and implementation of this instruction. In 2022, Jennifer created Sound Start Literacy, a structured linguistic literacy program and made it available to the public in 2024. We are excited to partner with educators to help their students unlock the code and experience reading success!
