Beach Reads

Beach Reads is a reading clinic offering 1-on-1 instruction to students of all ages and abilities by Joanna Berry, M.S. CCC-SLP. Unlike traditional tutoring, a licensed speech-language pathologist can administer a variety of standardized testing to assess all areas of literacy, including phonological and phonemic awareness, decoding, visual word form recognition, verbal and nonverbal working memory, executive functioning, and oral language skills. Each treatment session combines training through the Academy of Orton-Gillingham Practitioners and Educators with specialized speech-language education to meet each client's individual needs. Beach Reads instruction follows the evidence-based principles of structured literacy to provide ongoing diagnostic teaching rather than scripted reading programs.
