Ms. Debbie has well over a decade of consistent, ongoing experience using a scientifically proven approach to literacy known as The Orton-Gillingham Approach. She has worked with struggling readers of all ages including elementary, middle and high school students.

Avansert Phonics accepts homeschool, private school and public school students. Ms. Debbie's approach to literacy is explicit, multi-sensory and sequential. While this approach was designed for dyslexics but it works for most students who are struggling with reading, writing and spelling. Ms. Debbie specializes in helping complex students with multiple diagnoses.

Avansert Phonics offers learning assessments/dyslexia screenings and private O-G tutoring. In addition, manuscript handwriting, cursive handwriting, grammar and custom designed literature classes are also available. Avansert recently expanded it's early elementary school offerings to include teaching young children how to tell time on an analog clock which may help create a better "sense of time" than reading a digital clock.

Ms. Debbie loves the English language. She worked as journalist for many years before becoming a reading specialist. She believes all children can enjoy learning to read and write. She loves creating custom literacy games for individual students as well as finding the perfect book to read with a student. Her mission includes talking to dyslexic students about their strengths such as creativity, critical thinking and leadership skills.
