Melissa

As my daughter entered kindergarten she struggled with blending letter sounds. Simple Literacy was a game changer for her.

Ashley was just what you'd want from your child's tutor--so positive and uplifting-and from the convenience of our own home!  Because the program followed the same routine with each lesson, my daughter gained confidence while learning new skills. Ashley used explicit instruction that was clear and easy to follow.

Once the lessons were completed, my daughter was blending CVC words and reading simple sentences with ease. Simple Literacy was the perfect boost to her regular classroom instruction. Her teacher commented on how quickly she was making progress in class at school too. She's now finishing up the year--reading AND writing above grade level!

Abigail

I used the Simple Literacy program with my kindergartner in the fall and it was such a positive experience! It helped lay the foundation for his reading journey, reiterated what his teachers were doing in class, and gave me the confidence, language, and techniques to support him at home.  He is confident, happy, and reading at the top of his class!

We recommend Simple Literacy to anyone committed to helping their child succeed as a reader!

Sarah

Ashley was a lifesaver for our family. Her Orton Gillingham skills and support along with her organized and communicative nature was just perfect for my son and our family. 

Our 9 year old son needed significant support with phonics, writing, and executive functioning. She was compassionate and led with positive reinforcement. My son connected with her and enjoyed his time learning with her. Her lessons were organized and research based by structured literacy. 

She was able to provide additional resources and information to help me process how to support him moving forward. She remains a constant resource for our family navigating growing with dyslexia, even after remediation.  We cannot recommend her enough.

Have you ever asked yourself, why is my student struggling to read? 

Well, I did, A LOT! Until I learned how to put phonics first by explicitly teaching these crucial language components in a simple and fun way to my students.
