Heidi R.

34 Phonics lessons

Our son has come so far, and has so many more "tools" to tackle his phonics problem and continues to improve all the time. The school just kept saying "keep reading with him." Mike knew it wasn't a fluency issue, it was phonics. He also is able to bring our son into a good mood no matter what his attitude is when I drop him off. We had a couple weeks break before starting our school year this year and our son kept asking when he was going to see him again.

6 Phonics lessons

Margaret is extraordinarily knowledgeable and was able to assess my son's phonics issues immediately. She was kind, patient, and very generous in spirit with my son. When she left our home he said, "Mama, I really like her! She has a great heart!" He has challenges with reading and she boosted his confidence tremendously. I highly recommend Margaret!
