Provider Bio

I'm Leslie, a dyslexia specialist with a passion for literacy instruction and advocacy. While I have taught first, second, and third grades, my most influential experience was gained during the 5 years I taught a reading class for children with dyslexia. My classroom instruction revolved around providing multisensory phonics instruction for students in kindergarten through 5th grade, and the knowledge I gained during that time has drastically shaped my priorities as an educator. Currently, I am the founder of TallyTales Literacy, LLC. My goal is to provide literacy support, particularly to individuals with dyslexia, throughout my community in Northeast Mississippi.
