Is your child struggling with reading or spelling?
If your child is guessing at words, avoiding reading, struggling to spell, or making slower progress than expected, you are not alone.
Many bright children struggle with reading because a foundational skill is breaking down beneath the surface. It is not always obvious at first, and it is not something children simply “grow out of.”
The good news is that the right instruction can make reading feel much more manageable.

Work With Me
If your child is struggling with reading, I provide structured literacy tutoring designed to make reading easier and more automatic.
Instruction is based on research-backed methods used for students with dyslexia and other reading challenges.
If you would like help identifying exactly what your child needs, you can start with a Reading Assessment & Instruction Plan.
The First Step: A Reading Assessment
A reading assessment helps identify the exact skills that are breaking down. Instead of guessing what might help, we look closely at decoding, spelling patterns, and reading fluency to determine the right starting point.
After the assessment, parents receive a clear explanation of what is happening and a recommended path forward for instruction.
If you are still exploring and not ready to schedule anything yet, you can also start by reading the articles above to better understand how reading difficulties and dyslexia work.
