Each book in the series is geared towards a different reader, whether you are the pediatrician, the preschool teacher, the librarian, or the parent, and the collection comes in response to what Borkowsky perceives as America’s reading debacle. As the author explains, there is currently a profound reading level and literacy discrepancy amongst America’s youngest children, one which reflects both socioeconomic and racial lines, and an inadequate understanding of the varied learning needs of a differently abled student body. It is a discrepancy, she describes, that likely impacts a child you love.
In light of systemic failings in the education system in the United States, Borkowsky has authored her ‘If Only’ series to give you the knowledge that she has gained working as a certified academic coach for students with Dyslexia, Auditory Processing Disorder, ADD/ADHD, and a host of other learning difficulties. It also shares with you her decades of experience as a literacy consultant working with school districts across the country.
In short, her book series distills these experiences and reaches out to parents, teachers, doctors, and community leaders like you, offering you research-based, peer-reviewed programs that have produced positive gains for students.

Borkowsky’s previous books for High Five Literacy and Academic Coaching include ‘Reading Intervention Behind School Walls: Why Your Child Continues to Struggle’ and ‘Failing Students or Failing Schools? A Parent’s Guide to Reading Instruction and Intervention’. Both of these texts garnered significant acclaim for Borkowsky’s passionate, innovative, and parent-ready approach to reading instruction, and are also recommended to you as essential reading.
Borkowsky believes that, given school systems remain slow to implement meaningful change, it is parents and community leaders like you who can make the most profound difference to a child’s literacy outcomes. As such, the ‘If Only’ series reflects her belief that the solution to America’s reading debacle “lies in educating families and community-based professionals to provide them with common sense strategies for building reading-ready preschoolers and tools and knowledge to effectively advocate for proper instruction for their children”.
Sally Grimes, a well-known American literacy consultant and the Director of Grimes Reading Institute in Massachusetts, said of the ‘If Only’ series, “Not only is this an important book for parents, it is important for state and national policy-makers, leaders of adult education, corporations, and schools, in general. To have so much reading failure in this country is a matter of Social Justice. This valuable little book meets a major need and its dissemination is very important.”
If there is a child in America that you care about, you can be a part of their reading journey.
