A calmer, kinder path to reading.
The Long Island Reading Academy was built around one belief: every child deserves to feel capable when they open a book.

Meet Your Educator
The story behind the academy.
After years of working with striving readers in classrooms and clinics, I saw the same pattern again and again: bright, curious students who had simply never been taught to read in a way their brain could follow.
The Long Island Reading Academy exists to change that — with structured, evidence-based instruction delivered in a warm, one-on-one setting.
Every plan is individualized. Every lesson is intentional. And every student leaves feeling a little more sure of themselves.
- Explicit, systematic phonics grounded in Orton-Gillingham principles.
- Multi-sensory lessons that engage sight, sound, and movement.
- Individualized pacing — no two students get the same plan.
- Progress tracking and parent updates every step of the way.
- A warm, judgment-free space where mistakes are part of learning.
