Allyson Gardner

About Me

I specialize in providing individualized, multisensory instruction to students struggling with dyslexia and other learning differences.

My program is based on the Orton-Gillingham method, which is highly effective for improving reading skills. I tailor each session to meet the unique needs of my students, focusing on phonics, decoding, and spelling in a structured and engaging manner.

With my guidance, students not only improve their reading abilities but also build confidence and develop a genuine love for learning. I believe that every child has the potential to succeed, and I am dedicated to helping them reach their full potential.

My Approach

Individualized Instruction

Every student learns differently. I create personalized lesson plans that address each child's specific strengths, challenges, and learning style to ensure meaningful progress.

Multisensory Learning

Using hands-on, engaging techniques that involve sight, sound, touch, and movement, students connect with reading in ways that make sense to them and help concepts stick.

Orton-Gillingham Method

This proven, structured approach systematically teaches phonics, decoding, and spelling—building a strong foundation for reading success that students can rely on for life.

Building Confidence

Reading struggles can impact self-esteem. I create a supportive environment where students feel safe to learn, make mistakes, and celebrate their progress every step of the way.

Fostering a Love of Reading

Beyond skills, I help students discover the joy of reading. When children see themselves as capable readers, they develop a lifelong love of books and learning.

Proven Results

My methods are research-based and specifically designed for students with dyslexia and learning differences, delivering real, measurable improvements in reading ability.
