Virtual Dyslexia Services

These letters—CALT, CSLDS, CSLDI—aren’t just credentials. They mean the person working with your child has specialized training in how to actually teach a dyslexic brain to read.

Here’s why that matters in real life:

A lot of kids with dyslexia spend years in tutoring and still struggle. It’s not because they aren’t trying—it’s because they weren’t taught the right way.

Specialists trained in Structured Literacy know how to break reading down step by step in a way that finally clicks. No guessing. No memorizing. No “just try harder.”

They understand what’s really going on beneath the surface—like difficulties with phonological processing—and they target that directly instead of just working around it.

And they don’t stick to one plan if it’s not working. If your child isn’t making progress, they adjust. That’s a huge difference from the “let’s give it more time” approach many families hear.

Many are also trained in methods like the Orton-Gillingham approach—which is designed specifically for kids with dyslexia and backed by decades of research.

More help isn’t always better. The right help is.

Because when a child with dyslexia finally gets instruction that matches how they learn…that’s when confidence grows, reading improves, and things start to change for real.

How summer instruction can change your child’s reading

Before summer
• guessing at words
• slow; choppy reading
• avoids reading
• struggles with spelling
• low confidence

After 6–8 weeks with VMA
• accurate decoding
• smoother; more fluent reading
• more willing and confident
• understands spelling patterns
• “I can do this” mindset
Why it works
• 3–5 hours per week leads to real progress
• instruction aligned with the Science of Reading
• skills are taught; practiced; and stick

What this means
• stronger reading skills
• better performance in all subjects
• increased confidence at school
• a stronger start to the school year
To reserve a summer spot, message me with your preferred number of sessions per week (3; 4; or 5) and morning or afternoon availability

What families can expect from VMA summer instruction
• Structured literacy instruction aligned with the Science of Reading
• Explicit decoding, spelling, and fluency instruction
• Multisensory teaching and orthographic mapping practice
• Lessons individualized to each student’s needs
• Progress monitoring throughout the summer
• Parent guidance for supporting learning at home

If you would like priority scheduling, please reply with:

Your preferred number of sessions per week (3, 4, or 5)
