Speech Language-Pathologist/CALT
Is your child having reading problems?
If so, they’re not alone.
The National Assessment of Educational Progress (our nation's report card) reported that in 2019 only 35% of 4th graders in the United States were reading at a proficient level.
Could it be dyslexia? Dyslexia is a neurobiological condition that is characterized by difficulty with accurate and or fluent word recognition, poor spelling and decoding abilities.
Signs of Dyslexia - The Yale Center for Dyslexia and Creativity
One in five children face reading challenges that manifest themselves in various ways:
Poor rhyming ability
Poor working memory
Problems associating letters with the correct sound
Difficulty learning and remembering sight words
Poor comprehension
Spelling/handwriting difficulty
Kids with these issues simply process information differently and working with the right expert can help them gain confidence to chart a new course in their educational journey.
Margo Maberry is a speech-language pathologist and Certified Academic Language Therapist (CALT) but more importantly, a mom of a kiddo with dyslexia. It’s because of her experience as a parent that she sought answers to help her son and as a result, to help others with dyslexia.
Margo specializes in strengthening the areas most commonly associated with reading difficulty and targets phonics, phonemic awareness, letter identification, decoding (reading), spelling, handwriting, vocabulary, reading fluency and comprehension.
Margo is able to provide direct one on one instruction using a multi-sensory approach based on Orton-Gillingham training and provides a systematic, explicit approach to teaching that keeps learning fun and engaging.
