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.

Is Handwriting Outdated? Brain Science Has the Answer (+ 3 Things You Can Do This Week)
As your child groans at the workbook, and the pencil rolls off the table, you wonder if handwriting still matters in a world that runs on screens.
Today's episode gives you the real reason for handwriting, the one rooted in brain science, along with three small things you can try this week.
Schools are almost fully digital now, but researchers at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology put brain sensors on students while they wrote by hand and while they typed. What they found will change what you think about teaching handwriting.
After listening, you'll:
Understand the brain-based reason for handwriting and why typing simply doesn't build the same memory pathways
Know when your child needs a pencil in their hand and when a keyboard is actually the better tool
Stop white-knuckling over messy letters and focus on what actually moves the needle for your child's learning
Feel reassured that you don't need a Ph.D., a tutor, or a fancy curriculum to start helping today
If you're ready to stop guessing and start helping, head over to https://theliteracykeys.com/contact/ and let's talk about what your struggling child actually needs. You don't have to figure this out alone.
