hello, I'm Michelle!
If your child avoids reading, dreads writing homework, or has been told they just need to try harder, it's not their fault. Many children who struggle have never been taught to decode language in the way their brain needs. With the right instruction, structured, patient, and built around your child, the pieces start to click. That's what The Literacy Practice is here for.

why work with the literacy practice?
My approach to supporting students is deeply rooted in a holistic framework.
I bring 15 years of experience in literacy intervention, grounded in the Orton-Gillingham approach and the Science of Reading.
Every lesson is structured, explicit, and multisensory — because that's what the research shows works for struggling readers.What sets my practice apart is the way I integrate ADHD and executive function knowledge into every session. This is woven into how I pace lessons, support working memory, and create an environment where students feel capable rather than overwhelmed.
Most importantly, I show up for every student as a whole person. Progress in literacy and growth in confidence go hand in hand here.

"We are so pleased with the progress our son has made with his reading/ literacy since working with Ms. Mack (Michelle). Ms. Mack has many "tricks" in her bag for keeping lessons interesting and fun for the kids. She is extremely encouraging and a positive mentor. We are so happy we made the decision to work with Michelle"

"Michelle has been an excellent resource for my son. I would absolutely recommend her services to others. She was able to give my son the tools he needed to not only survive some challenging times but change the narrative of the story and find a way to connect. It's been a game changer."

"All three of my boys did VERY well this year and they couldn't have done it without you. Thank you!"
