Does your child "hate to read"?

Reading and homework problems are often rooted in inadequate foundational reading skills acquisition. If your child missed out on getting those skills, it's not too late! If learning challenges are involved and other programs have failed, you're in the right place! Because our unique methods are so closely aligned with neuroscience, our students progress 2-4x faster than with other popular interventions, including school-based tiered support.

the Reading Rescue process is streamlined for efficacy

Initial Consultation

The initial, fifteen-minute consultation is an opportunity for us to meet on Zoom, go over basic information about your child's challenges, answer program questions and determine if a more in-depth consultation is in order. This consult is free of charge.

In-Depth Consultation

In this 45-minute Zoom meeting, we dive deeper into your child's history, any previous interventions or specialized learning plans and your child's response to these. We will discuss your child's needs, review the family's experiences, and I'll tell you more about the program, my qualifications and approach. Finally, we will schedule an assessment, to gather specific data that is needed to guide intervention.

Assessment

This two-hour meeting provides a full academic assessment of foundational reading skills and a parent-conference to explain and discuss results. Its purpose is to confirm suspected educational deficits and to guide intensive educational intervention instruction, meant to resolve reading difficulties. When the assessment is complete, I will meet with you to fully explain the results in terms that you will understand. Armed with specific knowledge of a child's educational gaps, parents are empowered to make solid decisions regarding next steps, whether those involve entering the program or taking the results back to the school to help guide next-steps there.

Additionally, I may be able to comment on any behaviors observed that may indicate the possibility of specific learning disabilities such as dyslexia or ADHD. Please know that learning disabilities need not prevent a child from learning to read. With specialized help, it is virtually always possible.

*Please note that this is not a neurological exam and does not diagnose learning disabilities. Learning disabilities are diagnosed medically and must be done by a specialized psychologist or neuropsychologist. Assessments are done via Zoom or may be provided in-person in the Scottsdale, AZ area.

Parent Education

After your child's assessment is complete, you may be invited to participate in our monthly, two-hour parent education trainings via Zoom. Here, you will learn about foundational reading skills development, so that you can help your child at home. Beware! After attending these classes, you will very likely know more than your child's teachers do about reading acquisition. Be kind!

Full Program Daily Lessons

Subject to availability, you may be invited to enter into the Reading Rescue full intervention program. In this program, your child will receive individualized, intensive reading intervention lessons four days per week for 45 minutes each with myself. This is 1:1 instruction meant to fast-track your child's reading acquisition. My students make years' worth of progress in just weeks or months. An average program lasts 4-10 months, depending upon the needs of the individual child. Lessons are provided via Zoom or in-person in the Scottsdale area.

powerfully aligned with neuroscience

Fast, Effective Reading Intervention

Our students acquire reading skills 2-4+ times faster than with school-based tier support programs and other popular private reading intervention programs. Our instruction is explicit, direct, structured, sequential, cumulative, multi sensory, individualized and trauma-informed. Our methods are aligned with cognitive neuroscience to address the core executive functioning deficits associated with dyslexia, SLD and ADHD including: cognitive flexibility, anticipation of outcomes, working memory, planning and organization, inhibitory control, attention control and goal-directed persistence. Our unique, expert approach combines elements of phonics, whole language and neuroscience to produce results that are far superior to other programs, while caring for the emotional needs of your child.
