A one-on-one reading lesson: a student writing a word on a whiteboard beside a plush highland cow

Six skills that build confident, capable readers.

Reading skills build as students progress. Each session meets your student where they’re at, and targets the specific skills your child needs.

Phonemic awareness

Hearing, blending, and manipulating the individual sounds in spoken words.

Phonics

Connecting sounds to letters and letter patterns in a clear, logical order.

Decoding

Applying phonics to read unfamiliar words accurately and independently.

Fluency

Reading with accuracy, a natural pace, and expression so meaning comes through.

Vocabulary

Building word knowledge that supports speaking, writing, and understanding.

Comprehension

Making sense of what is read, from a first picture book to complex texts.

Olivia, reading specialist

Hi, I’m Olivia!

I help children and teens become capable, confident readers.

As a former special education teacher and school-based reading specialist, my goal has always been to help all students become confident and capable readers. My approach is rooted in evidence-based, multisensory learning (think Orton-Gillingham and UFLI!) to explicitly teach the foundational skills needed for reading success.

My instruction follows the Science of Reading, a collection of decades of research on how children learn to read. That means using proven, evidence-based methods to build strong readers through explicit and systematic instruction. Sessions are individualized and one-on-one, with a personalized, ongoing learning plan to build your reader’s skills, confidence, and independence.

Let’s get reading!

Teaching grounded in the Science of Reading

Decades of research show how children learn to read. My lessons follow that research.

Children aren’t expected to guess at words. They’re taught how reading works, then given plenty of practice.

Multi-Sensory

Lessons include major pathways to the brain: visual, auditory, and kinesthetic.

Sequential

Concepts are taught in a logical, research-based sequence.

Incremental

Each lesson carefully builds upon the previous lesson.

Cumulative

Constant and consistent review of previously taught concepts is provided.

Individualized

The unique needs of each student are met.

Explicit

Students are taught exactly what they need to know in a clear, straightforward manner. Skills are not assumed to be known based on age or grade level.
