Elizabeth Alexander

At the young age of 2, her father who had a passion for reading and early education, began teaching her to read using a phonics-based British curriculum.

Her earliest memories include diving into whole new worlds through books while reading on her own. While developing a variety of skills as a teenager, Elizabeth was fascinated with early childhood development and having fun with children. In her spare time she was passionate about helping them fall in love with reading from the young age of 2 & 3. Any child she worked with became avid readers from this young age.

As a young adult, Elizabeth spent a year with the Red Cross doing volunteer work in West Africa. From there she moved to New York City, and continued to work with young children while taking Early Childhood Development, and General Childhood Education courses. Over time, Elizabeth began to understand the deficiencies in the earlier grades in American schools. After five years of research of many types of reading programs used in America. and around the world, whilst continuing to gain experience with teaching children between the ages of 2.5 - 8 to read, Elizabeth founded Reading in PreSchool and developed The Alexander Reading Method.

15 years later, the company has expanded from being in one state to having teachers and students in 7 different U.S. locations. Online lessons are also offered internationally to children ages 4 and up.
