I specialize in structured reading instruction for elementary students who are struggling with decoding, fluency, or comprehension—especially those with dyslexia or learning differences. With over 20 years of teaching experience and training in the Orton-Gillingham approach, I provide engaging, personalized lessons that build confidence and skill.
My teaching method is rooted in a structured, multisensory approach. I combine phonics, movement, visuals, and auditory cues to activate multiple areas of the brain. This makes reading “click” for students who may have found traditional methods frustrating. I also focus on building vocabulary and comprehension through interactive stories and high-interest materials.
A typical lesson includes:
A warm-up with review games or word-building
Explicit phonics instruction tailored to the student’s current level
Fluency practice using controlled texts
Comprehension work with guided discussion or written response
A short, encouraging wrap-up with strategies to try at home
What sets me apart is my ability to create a safe and positive learning environment where students feel seen, supported, and successful. I build strong relationships and adjust my approach as students grow, helping them not only improve their reading—but believe in themselves as readers.
Lessons are ideal for:
Students in grades students with reading difficulties or dyslexia
Students in grades 1–8 with reading difficulties or dyslexia
Homeschooled students needing structured literacy instruction
English Language Learners who need decoding and comprehension support
Students preparing for reading-based assessments who need confidence and strategy

I have known Shelly for more than two decades and she is one of the most compassionate and intuitive educators I have ever known. Shelly has worked tirelessly to help her students become lifelong readers. Her professionalism and dedication to growing in her own understanding of the reading process is outstanding! As a fellow educator, the greatest compliment I could give would be that it would be an honor to have her teach my children. Shelly puts her students first and her wealth of knowledge and experience are unmatched! She is always my first resource for reading instruction.
