About Prickly Pear Academy
Does any of this feel familiar?
- “What if my child never learns to read? I worry everyone thinks I’m failing as a parent.”
- “I’m exhausted from daily behavior battles — it wasn’t supposed to be this hard.”
- “No one taught me how to support my child the way they need.”
- “My kiddo is doing well, but I know they can do even better — I just don’t know how.”
If you’ve thought any of these—even in passing—you’re definitely in the right place.
Hi, I’m Jacquelyn Delp
Reading Tutor & Positive Behavior Specialist
During my years in the classroom, I’ve supported children at every stage—from those gaining confidence in reading to those eager to reach even higher. With advanced training in SPIRE, Wilson, LETRS, Sounds Sensible, and evidence-based behavior strategies, I’ve helped kids—from those needing catch-up support to those ready to sprint ahead—grow their reading skills and thrive emotionally.
Imagine this:
📗 Your child lights up when the teacher calls to celebrate amazing reading strides.
🏡 Calm conversations replace power struggles as parents learn to reinforce positive behavior with confidence.
✨ You’re bursting with pride—knowing you gave your child the tools to build resilience, independence, and joy.
Reading isn’t just about decoding—it’s about deepening your bond, reducing stress, and cultivating emotional security. Studies show shared reading:
- Strengthens attachment, reduces parenting stress, and builds empathy
- Lays a foundation for vocabulary, attention, and academic success that lasts into adolescence
