“Why is my smart child still
struggling with reading?”

You've been watching your child guess at words, spend forever
on homework, and get more frustrated with reading every day—
saying things like

“I'm not smart” or “I'll never get this.”

You've wondered if something's wrong⁠—
when really, they've just never been taught
the way their brain is wired to learn.

When instruction finally matches your child, they stop relying on your help—and start reading, thinking, and succeeding on their own.

Here's what changes everything ↓

Two Years Later and
Still Getting A’s

Narin Jones
In Her Mom’s Words

Before2nd Grade

“She tries, but she relies on us for constant guidance.”

“She’s had to start from behind and catch up in a lot of ways.”

“Our son picked up things right away… but [with Narin] I just knew that connection was not there.”

AfterEnd of 5th Grade

“She reads in the car, at the restaurant, in her bedroom…”

“Narin had a phenomenal school year! She had one B… all the others were A’s!!!!”

“Sometimes, she even asks if she can read to me.”

“Her teachers anticipate she may not need accommodations by 7th grade.”

It All Started With
My Own Kids

I know what it’s like to feel completely helpless
as you watch your smart child struggle to read—spending twice as long on homework as their friends
and feeling frustrated about school.

We discovered our sons had dyslexia
while homeschooling them—and it became clear that what we were doing…
just wasn’t enough.

So I trained to become a dyslexia educator to learn how to help them succeed.

Today, my sons are honor roll students.

For over a decade now, I’ve taught children with dyslexia who felt behind and discouraged with reading—

despite utilizing school support, tutoring, and other reading programs that didn’t fully work.

When a child with dyslexia is finally taught the way they’re wired to learn, reading starts to click.

They stop guessing. They stop shutting down. Comprehension becomes easier.

And they finally start to feel confident.

That’s why I founded Dyslexia Success Academy—

to give children like mine exactly what they deserve: to read, learn, and finally believe in themselves.
