A Love Letter to our Parents and Guardians

Dear ,

We see you. 

You’ve taken the hard step to not only honor your child’s unique strengths but also address the areas where they need support. 

You’ve spent your time, money, and energy to find the best resources and solutions to help your child become the reader and speller you know they can be.

We see your worries transformed into action and your love channeled into fierce determination and advocacy. 

You're the one on the sidelines in our sessions, fixing the technology issues, being the cheerleader, getting the snack, the new dry-erase marker, the tissue, motivating, encouraging, and the list goes on. 

You’ve fought for your child with dyslexia, and we see you. 

You fought through years of other people telling you to have your kid “try harder”, or “practice more,” yet you knew in your heart that was not the solution. You kept fighting until you found what was right and worked for your child.  

It’s inspiring. You entrusted us to work with the person most precious to you, and it’s a privilege. Together we rebuild not just your child’s literacy skills but their confidence as well. 

As 2022 is coming to an end, we wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you for the gift of working with your student and your family.  

Love, 

The luckiest, most appreciative dyslexia therapists at The Reading Clinic


Introducing Our Team!

Meet Keri Hope! She has been an educator in California for over 15 years, working mostly as a Reading Specialist for students ages 5 through young adult. In 2020, she completed her Structured Literacy Dyslexia Specialist (SLDS) certification and added one-on-one reading therapy to her resume.

After many years working with larger groups of students in public school settings, she finds it incredibly rewarding to see the amount of progress a student can make in an individualized, systematic format. In fact, one of her favorite things about her work as a one-on-one reading therapist is how relieved students and families often feel when reading finally starts to make sense to a child.
