"About Me

Hi! I’m Kori, a certified Literacy Specialist with 19 years of experience helping students become confident, capable readers and writers. I’m trained in the Orton-Gillingham approach (IMSE) and certified in the Science of Reading, with extensive experience supporting learners with dyslexia, decoding challenges, and reading fluency needs.

I believe every student can learn to read with the right tools and guidance. My sessions are structured, engaging, and personalized to each learner’s goals. I use explicit, multisensory instruction that helps students connect sounds, symbols, and meaning in ways that make reading “click.”

What to Expect

Customized lessons focused on phonemic awareness, decoding, fluency, and comprehension

Progress monitoring and feedback after each session

A positive, encouraging environment where learners feel supported and capable

I’ve worked with students from kindergarten through sixth grade. Whether your child is struggling to decode words, build fluency, or comprehend text, I’ll meet them where they are and help them move forward confidently.
