About Mary

I provide structured, step-by-step reading instruction designed to build strong foundations in phonics, phonemic awareness, and reading confidence. I specialize in supporting early readers and children who struggle with reading, including those with dyslexia or language processing challenges. My instruction is systematic and multisensory, using sound-based learning, tapping, manipulatives, and guided writing to help children connect sounds to letters and build real reading skills. Sessions focus on phonemic awareness, phonics, decoding, word building, and reading fluency. I also support parents with simple strategies for continued practice at home. I offer a free 45-minute initial session using reading assessments to identify strengths and areas of difficulty, followed by a detailed plan of action within 48 hours.
