Choosing the Right Interventionist for Your Child

When selecting an interventionist for your child, it’s essential to find someone who has a deep understanding of how the brain learns to read. Being trained in a program doesn’t always guarantee a thorough grasp of the science behind reading and language development.

What truly matters is an interventionist’s knowledge of the Science of Reading, which is the body of research that explains how reading is acquired. This understanding allows them to apply research-based, evidence-backed strategies to help your child build strong literacy skills.

In addition, a effective interventionist works within a Structured Literacy framework, which provides a systematic, explicit, and comprehensive approach to teaching reading. Structured Literacy ensures that your child receives a well-organized, multi-faceted approach to learning that includes phonology, decoding, fluency, and comprehension.

In my practice, I combine the Science of Reading with Structured Literacy to create a personalized and research-supported intervention plan tailored to your child’s unique needs and learning style.

When it comes to your child's education, don't settle for just a trained professional—ensure that they have a deep understanding of how literacy develops and the most effective ways to support it.
