our team
Rosedale Readers was founded with a clear and passionate mission: to support students with diverse learning needs through evidence-based, individualized literacy instruction.
The philosophy behind Rosedale Readers is rooted in the belief that every student can achieve literacy success when provided with the right tools, instruction, and support. Reading and spelling challenges are not a reflection of intelligence or effort, and students deserve instruction that meets their individual learning profiles.
Rosedale Readers supports students with gaps in reading, writing, and spelling through a structured literacy approach. Instruction is grounded in the Barton Reading & Spelling System, an Orton-Gillingham–aligned program designed for students with dyslexia, dysgraphia, and related learning differences. Lessons are personalized, explicit, and carefully paced to support mastery and long-term progress.
Families are welcomed into a supportive and collaborative learning environment where each student’s journey is respected and valued. The focus is on building skills, confidence, and independence, while celebrating each student's unique strengths and learning style.
About the Founder
I am a structured literacy educator specializing in dyslexia intervention, trained directly in the Barton Reading & Spelling System. For the past five years, I have worked exclusively one on one with students with dyslexia or suspected dyslexia, using evidence based, Orton Gillingham aligned instruction.
I am also a qualified Resource Consultant for children with diverse learning needs. Earlier in my career, I spent six years as a Registered Early Childhood Educator in Ontario Public Schools, where I worked closely with Resource Consultants to support students in classroom settings. This experience shaped my approach to targeted intervention and led me to specialize in structured literacy and dyslexia support.
I work with early readers through adolescents who struggle with reading, spelling, fluency, and written expression, especially students who have not made expected progress through traditional instruction. I work closely with families and, when appropriate, school teams to support each child’s growth.
My goal is to help students move from frustration to confidence and independence. The most rewarding moments are watching a child discover that they are capable, confident learners.
Outside of my work, I enjoy staying active outdoors, reading, and spending time with my dog.
