The best decision I made was hiring Melissa to be my son's reading specialist. She changed his life forever. My husband and I were very concerned when my son was in second grade and still could not read. We tried everything but nothing worked. Finally, a friend of ours introduced us to Melissa. Melissa spent time talking to us and his teacher to learn more about his struggles in reading. She helped him to become more confident and gave him the strategies he needed. Now, my son enjoys reading a book in his spare time and is reading above grade level!

Melissa Iorio has been the missing puzzle piece in my son Joseph’s academic growth. Since starting our sessions, Joseph has made a dramatic change in his ability to read. My child was reading below grade level and disliked school. After working with Melissa, Joseph not only gained the skills to improve his reading, he gained the confidence he needed to love school again. Melissa’s knowledge of reading fundamentals and expertise in Orton Gillingham are the driving forces behind his success. She was kind, loving and patient with my son. I highly recommend Melissa Iorio as a reading specialist. You truly can tell how passionate she is to change children’s lives!

My third grade daughter enjoyed having books read to her but when it came to reading on her own, she struggled with her attention span and comprehension. We didn’t feel the attention she was getting in school was enough. Melissa Iorio came highly recommended by our school guidance counselor so we thought we would give her a try. Within a matter of weeks, we saw a dramatic improvement in her reading skills. The best part is my daughter actually enjoys Melissa’s kind, gentle and fun approach to mastering the fundamentals of readings.
