Literacy Roots Reading And Dyslexia Intervention

Hello! I'm Mandy Creider, but my students call me Mrs. C. I am a Reading Specialist with 20+ Years of teaching experience in Elementary and Special Needs Education. I am also trained in Orton Gillingham and Structured Reading. I have worked in public education as well as homeschooling. I now offer private tutoring through virtual/online or in-person sessions.

My tutoring business, Literacy Roots, is where struggling readers grow strong roots in Reading and Writing. I provide Specialized Reading Support for K–5 Learners.

I believe every child can become a confident, joyful reader. I provide expert, caring support for students with dyslexia and other reading challenges using proven, science-based methods.

I offer virtual therapeutic reading intervention for K–5 students who need more than just extra practice. Whether your child is struggling with phonics, fluency, comprehension, or dyslexia, I deliver personalized, evidence-based instruction designed to meet their unique needs. Using structured literacy approaches and a nurturing tone, each session helps your child make meaningful progress while building the confidence to thrive in and out of the classroom.

Learning Sessions include:

Orton-Gillingham aligned support

Focus on decoding, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension

Supportive environment tailored to each developmental stage from Kindergarten through 5th grade

Ideal for children who haven’t responded to traditional instruction

Fun, Interactive, Multi-sensory and strategic lessons and activities that keep students engaged and motivated

Initial assessments, screenings, and progress monitoring to address the child's needs with individualized literacy and on-going support

Clear communication with families and ways for continued at home learning support

I love, love, love all things literacy and learning! I am a teacher at heart and my passion is helping students grow into confident and strong lifelong readers.
