Dyslexia / Reading Assessments and Intervention
Structured, multisensory reading and spelling support for students with dyslexia, suspected dyslexia, and reading difficulties.
If reading feels harder than it should for your child, you are not alone. Many bright, capable students struggle because dyslexia, suspected dyslexia, or other language-based learning differences can make
reading, spelling, and writing exhausting and frustrating.
These students do not need more guessing, pressure, or standard tutoring. They need structured, explicit instruction that teaches reading and spelling in a way that finally makes sense.
At Brooke Finley Learning Center, we help families understand what may be getting in the way, identify your child’s reading and spelling profile, and create a clear plan for what to do next.

What Should You Know?

Does This Sound Like Your Child?
Your child may need an assessment if they:
-
​Guess at words instead of sounding them out
-
Read slowly, choppily, or with great effort
-
Struggle with spelling even after repeated practice
-
Avoid reading or writing
-
Become frustrated, overwhelmed, or discouraged
-
Seem bright and capable, but reading is not improving the way it should​
​
These struggles are not a character issue. They often mean your child needs a different kind of instruction: direct, structured, multisensory teaching that supports how dyslexic and struggling readers learn best.​​​​
Start With an Instructional Assessment
An instructional assessment gives you valuable clarity and helps us understand how your child is currently reading, spelling, and writing, where the breakdowns may be happening, and what type of support will help most.
​
After the assessment, you will receive a clear, parent-friendly report, and I will meet with you to walk through the results, explain what they mean, and discuss the recommended next steps for your child.
​
Instead of guessing why reading, spelling, and writing feel so hard, you will have a clearer path forward and a better understanding of where instruction should begin.
Dyslexia Tutoring That Makes Sense
For students who are a good fit, tutoring includes an Orton-Gillingham-influenced program designed for students who need intensive intervention through direct, explicit, multisensory reading and spelling instruction.
​
This type of instruction is:​
-
Structured
-
Explicit
-
Sequential
-
Cumulative
-
Multisensory
-
Mastery-based
​
Reading and spelling are taught together so students can understand how sounds, letters, syllables, and word patterns work. Instead of guessing or relying only on memorization, students are taught step by step in a way that helps the structure of language finally make sense.
