We began our careers as educators dedicated to sharing that love of reading with our students whom we love and for whom we care deeply.  We, Krystle, Lauren, and Mandy, soon found our way to learning and implementing the multisensory, Structured Literacy Approach based on the Science of Reading with our students who struggle with reading.  Mandy also found her way into using SIM (the Strategic Instruction Model) learning strategies with students, which Krystle and Lauren also use to teach vocabulary, comprehension, and written expression.  We teach and tutor reading, spelling, vocabulary, comprehension, and writing to our students.  As specialized reading tutors, all of our work is based on what has been called the Orton-Gillingham approach, the explicit phonics approach, and the various specific programs in which we have been trained such as the Wilson Reading System, Wilson Fundations, Mayerson Academy, University of Florida Literacy Initiative, and the S.P.I.R.E. reading program in which we have become trainers and instructional coaches.  We are eager tohelp our colleagues learn and implement this instruction with fidelity, thus reaching more students and their families.  As you know the need to raise literacy levels in our community and across the nation is huge.  Will you join us?
