Lois Wendus is the author of Oli Kids Co.'s A Good Start Reading, a beginning reading program designed for children just learning to read. She practices differentiated, individualized instruction, designing plans around how each student learns best, and has experience across all grade levels and in both regular and special education curriculum, including The Common Core. Her focus is on teaching decoding and comprehension together, along with the developmental process and strategies students need to become strong, confident readers. One parent of a former tutoring client reported that Lois taught her child to read when the school system could not, and that her 10-year-old reached grade level in less than six months after being a year and a half behind at private school.

The business is located on West St, about 0.2 miles from Birges Hill, 0.4 miles from Noden-Reed Park, and 0.5 miles from Reeds Pond, the Barbara Drive nature preserve, and Pesci Park. Saint Marys School is roughly 0.6 miles away.

Leaps In Learning holds a 5.00 rating from the customers who have reviewed it, reflecting the experience of families whose children have worked with Lois directly. For Windsor Locks and the surrounding eastern and central Connecticut towns, that record rests on three decades of teaching students to read and write.
