Hi, I'm Allison
I started Ascending Readers after witnessing the toll inadequate reading instruction has taken on so many learners.
Without the right skills to decode the complexity of written English with fluency, many students are falling behind classmates which can leave them feeling insecure, frustrated, and embarrassed.
As a successful Orton-Gillingham Associate, I’ve witnessed firsthand the profound impact that learning the complex codes of written English can have on a child. It not only enhances their reading skills, but also builds their confidence, strengthens their overall education, and transforms their life.
The heart of Ascending Readers
Empowering students with the tools they need to read with confidence, reclaim their self-worth, and thrive not just in school, but in life.
What to expect in our sessions
Empowerment
Rather than creating dependency on tutoring, we work on creating an “I can do this” mindset.
Energy
I bring enthusiasm and fun to every session, turning what could feel like tedious practice into sessions filled with laughter and excitement.
Patience
I offer steady guidance to work through frustrating moments, and celebrate victories to ensure students never feel pressured or defeated.
Transparency
I work to help students achieve independence but I am also clear on current progress. Repairing reading gaps is not always a quick fix.
Resourcefulness
I’ll adapt teaching methods on the fly, create custom approaches, and find creative solutions to unique reading challenges.
