Tutoring
Hoping to help your child take the next step in their learning journey?
At Meek & Meadow Literacy, I offer personalized literacy lessons that meet your learner where they are and develop their love for reading. Whether your child is just starting to learn letters and sounds or needs extra support with reading and writing, I’ll create a plan that fits their unique needs. My tutoring sessions combine the science of reading with play-based learning to unlock your child’s reading potential.
Getting Started Together
This is where our journey begins! You’ll see how we go from meeting for the first time to creating a tailored plan and beginning engaging 1:1 sessions designed just for your child, whether that’s in person or virtual, depending on what fits your family best.
Free 20-Minute Consultation Call
Let’s discuss your child’s needs and any questions you have.
2. In-Person or Virtual Assessment
I will meet with your child to pinpoint their strengths and any gaps in their literacy skills.
3. Student Learning Plan
We will schedule a call to review your child’s personalized student learning plan that outlines their assessment results and provides clear next steps with clear academic goals.
4. Tutoring Begins!
One-on-one tutoring sessions begin, offered in person or virtually. Every lesson combines playful, engaging activities with the proven, multisensory methods of the Orton-Gillingham approach.
Let’s begin with an initial assessment session to see if it’s the right fit!
Every tutoring journey at Meek & Meadow starts with an initial assessment session. This is our chance to see if this structure of learning feels like a good fit for your child and to make sure they feel excited about their learning from the start. We’ll design your child’s own “working” game board, choose a class pet, and play a variety of literacy games, all part of a research-based assessment that helps me understand their reading strengths and next steps. You can expect plenty of smiles and laughter as I get to know your child through meaningful, play-based activities.

FAQs
-
Tutoring may be the right fit for your child if they are:
Working below grade level and need extra support to catch up
Thriving best with one-on-one attention
Missing some foundational literacy skills (letters, sounds, phonological awareness, etc.)
Finding reading to be a challenge or slow to progress
Scoring lower than expected on academic assessments
Needing homeschool instructional support
Struggling to gain confidence in learning how to read
Feeling frustrated or discouraged with reading
-
Many parents hope their child will simply grow out of reading struggles with time, but unfortunately, that’s not how reading works. Unlike speaking, reading isn’t a skill the brain develops naturally on its own. If your child is having difficulty, it usually means some foundational skills are missing, and without the right support, those gaps often become bigger and harder to close.
The numbers speak for themselves: 1 in 3 children start kindergarten without the skills they need to begin learning to read, and by fourth grade, about 66% of students are not reading at grade level.
The good news is that early, targeted support changes everything. With the right instruction, children can strengthen those early skills, gain confidence, and build the solid foundation they need to thrive as lifelong readers.

Tutoring is designed to meet your child right where they are and strengthen the skills that matter most for their growth. Depending on your child’s age and needs, this may include:
Reading growth & confidence
Spelling development
Writing support
Kindergarten readiness skills
Foundations of early literacy
Support with IEP goals
Homeschool literacy guidance
Each lesson is tailored to your child’s unique learning profile, so the time we spend together is focused, meaningful, and directly connected to their next steps in learning.

Every child’s reading journey looks a little different, and progress happens at their own pace. During tutoring, I meet your child right where they are, focusing on the specific skills they need to grow. Along the way, we build confidence, celebrate small wins, and equip them with tools and strategies that set them up for long-term success as a reader. Growth may look different for each child, but with consistent support, you’ll begin to see steady progress and a growing love for reading.
