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.

Explaining Dyslexia: How to Talk to My Child About Dyslexia (+ 3 starting scripts for different ages)
Explaining dyslexia to your child shouldn't feel like delivering a medical sentence. It’s about finally giving them the key to why they’ve been working twice as hard for half the results.
Without a name for their struggle, children often fill in the blanks with their own words that aren’t helpful. This episode is your guide to having “the talk” with your child. Whether your child is just starting to notice the gap or is a frustrated teen who has already given up on books.
After listening, you’ll:
- Give your child a clear way to understand their unique processing style.
- Master how to talk to my child about dyslexia using specific, age-appropriate scripts.
- Shift to a different mindset using a brain metaphor that makes sense to kids (and overwhelmed parents!)
If you’re ready for more than just a conversation and need a customized roadmap, reach out and contact me today. Let’s see how 1:1 educational therapy can turn your struggling reader into an independent, confident learner.
If this episode helped you breathe a little easier today and made explaining dyslexia easier for you, please share it with one other parent who is walking this path. Remember to subscribe for more practical, guilt-free guidance.
Cheers,
