READ is not a "four letter word"
In a typical American classroom, one in five students struggles with literacy. I teach these individuals. It is my goal to connect with students, parents and teachers to make reading a positive experience in children’s lives. I am retiring from my practice in May of 2025, but my consult to past students is lifelong. Please access me at your convenience.
MISSION
Through awareness of their language brain, it has been my goal to open doors to student lead success in literacy and language arts. Together we set goals, reveal purpose and build confident readers and expressive writers.
The brain is fascinating; gathering information from the left and right hemispheres throughout the day. How that information is integrated, organized and prioritized affects individual learning styles. It is empowering for a student to discover and claim their way of learning. Research provides clear, structured evidence-based methods to teach remedial reading. I teach explicit accessible tools based in phonology, multi-sensory technique and linguistics.
My personal lifetime experience with learning difficulties adds a unique determination and empathy to my teaching. It is my privilege to witness individuals' revelations of their abilities.
Why do I do it?... Amazing results happen when a team of school teachers, family and educational specialist come together to lift up students to their potential. This connection reframes the learning experience. It releases classroom pressures and makes space for self-expression; essential for ultimate success.
