Boost Your Knowledge with Thrive Literacy Literacy Programs

Literacy Tutoring for Kindergarten – 8th Grade

My literacy tutoring service provides personalized support for students in Kindergarten through eighth grade, helping them develop strong reading and writing skills through research-based instructional practices and high quality literacy programs. Each student begins with an assessment to identify their strengths and areas for growth. Based on the results, customized instruction is tailored to their individual needs.

I offer individual tutoring sessions for focused, one-on-one instruction and small group sessions for collaborative learning in a supportive environment.

Instruction may include:

• Phonological Awareness – Developing the ability to recognize and manipulate sounds in spoken language

• Phonics – Strengthening letter-sound relationships for accurate decoding

• Fluency – Enhancing reading accuracy, speed, and expression for better comprehension

• Vocabulary – Expanding word knowledge to support understanding and communication

• Comprehension – Teaching strategies to improve reading understanding and critical thinking

• Spelling – Reinforcing spelling patterns and word recognition skills

• Writing – Developing sentence structure, organization, and expression for clear communication

My approach is grounded in evidence-based literacy instruction, ensuring that each student receives high-quality support aligned with best practices in reading and writing development. Whether your child needs extra support or enrichment, I am committed to helping them grow into confident, capable readers and writers.

I provide specialized dyslexia programs and reading interventions using research-based, evidence-backed instructional methods designed to support students diagnosed with dyslexia or those 

suspected to have dyslexia.

My approach is structured, explicit, and multisensory, ensuring that each student receives the individualized support they need to build strong reading and writing skills.

With significant training in dyslexia intervention, I understand the unique challenges these students face and tailor instruction to target key areas such as:

• Phonological awareness and phonemic awareness

• Systematic phonics and decoding strategies

• Fluency development

• Spelling and word recognition

• Reading comprehension and written expression

I hold a Certificate in Dyslexia from the University of Florida, one of the few programs in the United States accredited by the International Dyslexia Association. This specialized training equips me with the knowledge and tools to provide effective, research-driven instruction that fosters literacy success.

Whether your child has a formal dyslexia diagnosis or you suspect they may struggle with dyslexia, I am here to provide expert, individualized support to help them gain confidence and THRIVE!

Many parents and caregivers struggle to find effective ways to support their child’s reading and writing development, especially when facing challenges like dyslexia or learning differences. It can be overwhelming to navigate the world of educational resources, literacy programs, dyslexia programs, teaching methods, and strategies for improving literacy skills and reading interventions. Often, parents want to help but may not know where to start or how to best support their child’s unique needs.

Together, we’ll ensure that you have the knowledge and tools to help your child succeed in reading and writing.

I offer literacy consulting services designed to support parents, caregivers, homeschool families, and school districts in improving literacy outcomes. Whether you’re a parent seeking guidance on your child’s literacy development or a school district in need of expert advice on literacy programs, I provide tailored support to meet your specific needs.

My services include:

• Consultation with Parents and Caregivers – I work closely with parents to review their child’s literacy progress, discuss concerns, and offer practical strategies to support reading and writing skills at home.

• Support for Homeschool Parents – I guide homeschool families in developing effective literacy programs, offering resources, lesson planning, and strategies for working with students with unique literacy needs.

My goal is to provide expert, research-driven guidance to help individuals and families achieve better literacy results.

Using a combination of evidence-based screeners and assessments, I can evaluate your child’s literacy skills, phonological awareness, and other critical areas to determine if they may be at risk for dyslexia.

After completing the screenings and assessments, parents and caregivers will receive a written report that includes findings, data analysis, and specific recommendations. This report is designed to be shared with your child’s school to facilitate further support, dyslexia programs,  and reading interventions.
