Who can benefit from Genesis Reading?

-Hi, I’m Sheridan, a Certified Academic Language Therapist in private practice. I specialize in teaching frustrated dyslexic and dysgraphic learners to become independent, grade-level readers and writers. I do this by igniting curiosity and the joy of learning with creative strategy games rooted in brain science.  

I’m going to show you some powerful techniques that create the right environment to cater to your child’s learning style. By tapping into the fun zone, students relax, trust the process, create connection and see results. Based on neuroscience, Multisensory Language Therapy (MSLT) is internationally recognized as the most effective strategy.

Have you tried everything and you’re at your wit’s end?

Has your child been diagnosed and you’re ready to save time, money and heartache by using a strategy based in science?

Are you ready to take action and avoid years of useless ‘free’ interventions? 
 
I’m on a mission to help parents, teachers & educators access the tools they need right now to get measurable results so that their child becomes more independent and SOARS.
 
I work one-to-one, online or in person in the New Jersey area.  I’m also available for speaking opportunities and media appearances to help further my mission to empower reading confidence.

Why work with me? 

I’ve been where you are now and I have come out the other side. I understand the challenges and frustrations you and your child experience as part of your every day life. 

I have 2 dyslexic children. One has recently graduated from University and the other one is in college. For four years, I home schooled our kids as mainstream education just wasn’t meeting their needs. 

My own personal journey, coupled with 20 years in Montessori mean that I have the experience to customize lessons to your child’s specific needs. 

Parents of my students unanimously comment that my ability to connect with their child enables them to push through really tough material, and most importantly, they have fun doing it.

What is special about the strategies I use?

Multisensory Language Therapy is effective because it uses all pathways of learning to the brain: visual, auditory and kinesthetic. Intensive instruction delivered by an experienced professional enables struggling readers to achieve independence. This includes mastering phonemic skills, overcoming dysgraphia, conquering sight words, and applying vocabulary to improve reading fluency, comprehension skills, studying and testing skills.

What is dyslexia?

Is it an illness?

Dyslexia is not a disease so there is no cure.

What is dyslexia?

Dyslexia is a neurobiological brain difference that affects people’s ability to use and process alphabetic letters and symbols.

Who does it impact?

Children and adults of all intellectual abilities can be affected by dyslexia. The exact cause of dyslexia is unknown, but it often appears to run in families.

Genesis Reading - What Is Dyslexia. Child reading.

What does it affect?

Dyslexia does not only affect reading. It also affects writing, spelling, math and many other areas of life and learning.

How does it make you feel?

People with dyslexia often suffer low self-esteem because they feel stupid, struggle in school and often bullied.

How does it impact education?

One-third of students with learning disabilities have been retained in a grade at least once.

The statistics

It is important to remember that many students not identified as having a learning disability are not included in the statistics below and therefore, true numbers are likely much higher.

1 in 5 children are are at risk of dyslexia and dysgraphia

8.5 Million American students have dyslexia. 

85% of students with learning disabilities have dyslexia.

One-third of students with learning disabilities have been held back (retained) in a grade at least once.

Only 68% of students with learning disabilities leave high school with a regular diploma while 19% drop out and 12% receive a certificate of completion.

Reading is a skill that can’t be taken for granted

 You may be asking yourself many questions:

Do you have a gut feeling that your child is not picking up reading the way other children are?

Have you already received a dyslexia diagnosis?

Has your child been in the pull-out system for a few years and still not caught up?

Is the school suggesting retention?

Is your child frustrated and considering dropping out?

I take parents and children from frustration to freedom by tutoring students based on thousands of hours of research and real-world application to make up for lost time and to get them ahead.

The dyslexic brain

I understand how your child’s brain actually learns and will empower you to advocate your child’s needs throughout their educational journey.

Strategies that work

The time-saving strategies I use will fit into your day-to-day life and will give you actionable steps NOW to promote connection and comprehension.

Overcome illiteracy

You and your child will be able to enjoy significantly reduced anxiety and frustration, enabling you to feel less isolated.
