My name is Diane B. and I look forward to working with you and your child. I am a certified, experienced teacher and reading specialist. My career started in 1990 as a classroom teacher. In 2010, I earned my M.Ed. in Literacy from Providence College. I have spent the last thirteen years employed as a reading specialist. Students have made tremendous gains through my research based instruction. I provide targeted, intensive, and engaging reading intervention to individual and small groups of children. Homeschooling families are also welcome! I am flexible and customize my instruction to the needs of my learners. I have extensive experience working with readers who struggle in phonics, phonemic and phonological awareness, vocabulary development, fluency and comprehension, as well as writing and responding to texts. I also work closely with students who have ADHD, dyslexia, and executive functioning issues. I monitor progress and share this data with families. I am also very knowledgeable of age/grade level expectations because of my extensive work in public schools. I hope that my work with your child will give them not only the skills they need, but will also foster a positive outlook on reading and a life long love of books. Thank you for your consideration. I hope to have the opportunity to assist in getting your child started on the road to success!

ADHD

ADHD

I am a certified elementary classroom teacher and reading specialist. I hold a BA in Elementary Education and an M.Ed in Literacy. I started teaching in 1990. Currently I am employed as a reading specialist and the majority of my students have ADHD. I also studied to this disability during graduate school and I feel that I am very effective and knowledgeable in this regard.
Dyslexia

Dyslexia

I hold an M.Ed in Literacy and I am employed as a reading specialist. Understanding dyslexia is a major part of my job. Many of my students have this disability.
Homeschool

Homeschool

My work as a reading specialist includes teaching individual and small groups of children, as well as working very closely with families. Additionally I have tutored children in their homes. Because I work in public schools, I am very knowledgeable about grade level /age expectations and curriculums. That will be very helpful in making the connection between school district requirements and homeschooling families. I am flexible and customize instruction based on the needs of the child and expressed desires of the family. For this reason, I would feel very comfortable in a homeschooling situation or network.
Phonics

Phonics

I have extensive experience teaching the components of phonics, including phonological and phonemic awareness. I offer a multi sensory, intensive, targeted and research based reading intervention. I have been an educator for almost 30 years and a reading specialist for the last 13 of those years.
