Is your child struggling with reading and spelling?

Learn the terms now, so you can understand important conversations later.

- Parents who want to help their children succeed
- General education teachers who want to understand their dyslexic students

Testimonials
"Such a fabulous resource and many "ah ha" moments!"
-Mom of a 4th Grader with Dyslexia
“Lisa Parnello is nothing short of amazing! My dyslexic child could not read at all when she started working with Lisa after first grade and the situation felt hopeless. She is now testing above grade level in reading and it is all due to Lisa’s patience, expertise, and knack for getting the best out of kids. We could not recommend Lisa more highly.”
