Individual Reading Instruction

Structured, one-on-one Orton-Gillingham instruction for kids with dyslexia, language-based differences, or anyone the classroom hasn't quite reached yet.

"Every child can learn to read. Some just need a different door opened — and someone patient enough to walk through it with them."

— My reading promise

What’s Inside

A specialized literacy program for children who learn differently.

For children with dyslexia, language-based learning differences, or those who simply haven't clicked with the way reading is taught in their classroom, Individual Reading Instruction offers something different: explicit, systematic, sensory-rich instruction built around how your child's brain works.

We build letters out of dough. We trace them in sand. We write them in the air. We use the whole body because when a child can see it, hear it, feel it, and move it, something shifts. Reading stops being a struggle and starts making sense.

Every child receives a personalized learning plan, ongoing progress reports, and a therapist who genuinely understands what's happening in their body and their brain.

Sessions are built around each child — their needs, their learning style, and their sensory-motor profile.

The Approach

A four-part rhythm that turns reading from a struggle into a strength.

01

Evaluate with care

We start by listening: to your child, to you, to the story behind the struggle. A warm, thorough assessment surfaces exactly where reading is breaking down.

02

Build with the whole body

Letters made of dough. Words traced in sand. Spelling tapped on fingertips. Multisensory Orton-Gillingham instruction makes language tangible.

03

Practice until it sticks

Sequential, cumulative, and explicit. Each session layers carefully on the last so skills move from effortful to automatic — and reading becomes joyful.
