Leading a Reading Revolution to Unlock the Potential in Every Child Through Literacy 

A daunting epidemic looms over our nation - the crisis of American Illiteracy.  Studies show that 68% of 4th graders do not read to grade level!  

Without literacy, the next generation stands no chance to compete and thrive in an increasingly complex world. 

With vision and action, Judge Coffelt seeks to craft a new story - one where children unlock the magic of words and chart the course of their own making. 

Judge Coffelt is passionate about assisting parents and other educators to learn about the importance of literacy.  She provides education and support so that parents are empowered to guide their children towards a love of reading.

Literacy is more than a skill: it is a mindset and lifestyle that leads to success. 

Judge Coffelt’s vision is to unlock the potential in every child through literacy and start a reading revolution!

What People are Saying

  • "I am definitely looking forward to her future books! "

    All Books Each book has a Scripture in the beginning, as well as a dedication to Jesus Christ and the author's family. At the end of each one is an invitation to the reader to accept Jesus as Lord. Mrs. Coffelt's foundation, As the Stars of the Sky, works to promote literacy in children, something I am also very passionate about. I am definitely looking forward to her future books! They are such a fun and informative way to look at holidays, and direct children to Jesus Christ! By Becky, Happy Christian Home

  • "Great book! "

    This book is really well done and does a great job of providing an easy-to-understand history of Independence Day. The pictures are excellent and my 6 and 8 year olds are now able to tell the story of Independence Day. The purpose of the book is to explain the REASON behind the 4th of July celebration, not show the celebration itself. Great book! -Michele

  • "The author's lyrical writing makes for a fun and delightful book that is fun to read."

    I adore the cute illustrations and the delightful way the author has explained the holiday in easy- to-understand passages that are often funny and always charming. It's Not About You Mr. Pumpkin takes the scary out of Halloween, and the author does a great job of tying the old customs and beliefs to the new. The author's lyrical writing makes for a fun and delightful book that is fun to read without being scary or violent, and one that children will turn to again and again.

  • "I encourage you to go buy a copy of this book"

    It was easy to understand and easy to read. I do believe it was put on a child’s level too. I believe you and your family would enjoy this book and learn about how Halloween started and what Halloween truly is, on a kid level. I encourage you to go buy a copy of this book and read it with your family or any young children that you can.

  • "Summed up, this is a delightful book"

    Summed up, this is a delightful book, perfect for this time of year and the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday. And I really recommend it for families who'd like their kids to get better acquainted with the story behind this important holiday.

  • "Cute, fun, factual, and Biblical ❤️"

    By Shawan Cole

  • " I love the word “True” was added before God. Because He is the true God."

    This book in my opinion is a rather easy read and it has a lot of illustrations to help with the story line. I like how the books says that God gave the pilgrims the idea to move away from where. It also says Thanksgiving is when we give thanks to the true God. I love the word “True” was added before God. Because He is the true God.

  • "This book was a real blessing to us!"

    Darling! Precious! Touching! And perfect for sharing the true meaning of Christmas with little ones. Ms. Coffelt has created an excellent tool for sharing Jesus Christ with children. This gem is a book you will want to give to every child and parent of little ones you know. Thank you, Soraya Diase Coffelt!

  • "This is another adorable book from Soraya Coffelt!"

    This is another adorable book from Soraya Coffelt! In this book, the child writes to Santa Claus to let him know the true meaning of Christmas. It tells the story of the Christ child, Jesus, and I really love the illustrations in this book. I love this book!

    By Julie D. More of Him

  • "I think this book does a great job of explaining that as well."

    We are caught up in the gifts and Santa about Christmas, we are losing the meaning that Jesus is the reason for this season. We ought to be focusing more on God and loving him more than the gifts we get or even Santa coming etc.

    I think this book does a great job of explaining that as well.
