Approach

Marissa uses structured literacy instruction grounded in Orton-Gillingham principles, delivering multisensory, explicit, and logically sequenced lessons. Each session includes ample practice opportunities with high-quality feedback to ensure mastery and retention.

Students begin with a comprehensive diagnostic assessment, which produces a detailed report highlighting strengths and areas for growth. From there, Marissa designs targeted, individualized intervention plans tailored specifically to each child’s needs.

Families receive ongoing support and partnership, including:

  • Comprehensive review of your child’s educational history, including IEPs (if applicable), to inform a fully individualized literacy plan

  • Ongoing collaboration with your child’s school to ensure alignment of goals, support strategies, and progress tracking

  • Transparent access to detailed lesson plans and regular updates on student progress, keeping families connected to every step of the intervention

  • Practical guidance on at-home activities to reinforce skills and support your child’s literacy growth

  • Consistent updates from someone who truly invests in your child’s success
