About Me

At Reading with Ms. Joy

I offer skill-based tutoring and intervention services designed to enhance the foundational reading skills of school-aged struggling readers and learners. My instruction is rooted in the Orton-Gillingham Structured Literacy (SL) approach, providing personalized, interactive online tutoring via Zoom. Each engaging 30-40 minute session is carefully tailored to address specific reading and spelling challenges, offering targeted support to foster progress and development. I collaborate closely with families to ensure high-quality, effective instruction.

Skill-Based Learning for Reading Success

As your Dyslexia Tutor Specialist

I focus on skill-based methods to help your child become a confident and successful reader.

Goal:   My goal is to support your child’s reading journey with a structured, skill-based approach that leads to lasting success. In reading with Ms. Joy, learners actively engage with the material, understanding not just what they are learning, but also why it matters and how to apply their knowledge in a meaningful and purposeful way. I aim to foster critical thinking and reasoning skills, moving beyond rote memorization while emphasizing the importance of understanding in the learning process.

Letter formation—Preventing confusion between ‘b’ and ‘d’

Effective letter formation is essential for preventing reversals commonly seen with ‘b’ and ‘d.’ Skill-based instruction reduces confusion by teaching distinct letter formations and providing tools and strategies to verify whether a letter is ‘b’ or ‘d.’
