I entered the education field in 2001 teaching deaf and hard-of-hearing students. My determination to better serve my hard-of-hearing students led me down the path of Structured Literacy. I am grateful for obtaining the knowledge from my Certified Academic Language Therapist training because it has opened many opportunities to help other struggling readers including those with Dyslexia. I am a lifelong learner always seeking ways to better serve my students and clients.

~Parent Testimonials~
"My wife and I are very grateful for Kristen. Both our girls have progressed immensely in their reading levels. Both the girls really love Kristen."
"Reading used to be such a chore for my daughter. After much frustration, we made the decision to look for help. Since working with Kristen, my daughter's self-confidence has been boosted as well as her reading level. She was diagnosed as severely dyslexic, however, now reads above grade level. I would highly recommend Kristen for any reading issues."
