Tracy is an extraordinary orton gillingham tutor. She is quite gifted with older students, having found the perfect balance of respect, humor, and no nonsense feedback. This has kept my son engaged. I am so grateful to her.

My kiddo gained so many skills in reading working with Tracy! After a rough couple of years at a sub-par school, they started 3rd grade at a new school missing some key foundational lessons and concepts which was holding them back from catching up with peers and reaching grade-level reading. Tracy worked so patiently, helping to build the strong foundation they needed. We now have a reader!

Tracy made the virtual learning process effortless. As a structured Orton-Gillingham tutor, my high-school-age son has built confidence. He is reading more fluently and with ease allowing him the ability to comprehend what he has read. I recommend her to anyone looking for an Orton Gillingham tutor to ensure their child learns to read.

Your recommendations helped me to successfully advocate for more awareness and new IEP goals for my child. The updated IEP is a much needed improvement from the original.

Books About Dyslexia. Why Teens Read, But Still Struggle (3 Audiobooks)
Books about dyslexia either hand you the key to understand your child, or leave you more confused than when you started your journey.
By the end of this episode you'll know which three books about dyslexia are worth your time, and which one to open first if your child is an older student.
As part of my Orton Gillingham certification training, I had to read at least ten books on dyslexia. A few were clinical enough to put me to sleep. Three of them are perfect for parents. In fact, one of the three named the exact situation that a reading specialist once told me could not be happening with my daughter. (Spoiler alert: schools don’t know a lot about dyslexia.)
What you'll take with you:
Language you can use the next time someone says your child just needs more reading practice
A framework your teen can actually see themselves in
A way to understand the kid who reads well out loud but cannot spell for beans
Which of the three books about dyslexia to start first, depending on your child's age
Permission to read none of them by Friday, because sleep is a good thing
