Virtual Dyslexia Therapy- Research Based Reading Intervention
I have tried my best to educate myself on different interventions that would help my students throughout my teaching journey. When it came to students with dyslexia, my research was taking me down several different avenues. There is a lot of information available on dyslexia interventions that are centered around personal successes. While these resources were helpful, I needed to take my interventions a step further for my students that were really struggling with reading. This is when I found Take Flight: A Comprehensive Intervention for Students with Dyslexia.
What is Take Flight?
Take Flight (TF) is a multisensory, structured approach to teaching written by the education staff of the Luke Waites Center for Dyslexia and Learning Disorders at Scottish Rite for Children (SRC) hospital. Take Flight builds on the success of previous dyslexia intervention programs developed at SRC: Alphabet Phonics, Dyslexia Training Program and TSRH Literacy Program. It is a two year, Orton-Gillingham based curriculum designed for students 7 years of age and older who have been identified as having dyslexia.
The reason Take Flight initially caught my attention is because the whole program is developed based on research! Research and data! These are two words I absolutely love as an educator
Who Can Administer Take Flight?
Take Flight trained therapists are called Certified Academic Language Therapists (CALTs). CALTs have extensive training needed to serve students with dyslexia.
In order to become a CALT a person must:
Hold a bachelor’s degree
Go through a two year training program
Complete a minimum of 700 clinical teaching hours
Submit video demonstrations, book reports and chapter reviews
Complete a minimum of 200 instructional hours
Pass an exam that results in certification by the Academic Language Therapy Association

About Me
I’m Andreah and I have always had a passion for working with children. I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a degree in Communication Science and Disorders- Speech Language Pathology. My life path led me to become a teacher and ultimately an Academic Language Therapist. As a teacher, I primarily worked with children who had been identified as having a learning disability in academic areas or who struggled with attention.Dyslexia Therapy
I’m extremely thankful to be an Academic Language Therapist. This is a specific two year program of extensive training and hundreds of clinical teaching hours (700 hours minimum to be exact!) that allows me to provide dyslexia therapy. The intervention I am trained in is called Take Flight and I am currently in my advanced year of training. I have been blown away at the progress children make from our dyslexia therapy sessions! It has been such a wonderful and gratifying experience to be a part of their journey!

Grammatical homophones, Primary school course, cycle 2 and 3This lesson aims to help the student differentiate and correctly use a / à, and / est, son / sont, using fun and interactive activities.
The session begins with a detective game where the student spots homophone errors in sentences. He then discovers the rules using flashcards that associate each word with a simple trick.
Various games help to anchor this knowledge: the target game to complete sentences, the right path game where the student physically chooses the right answer, and the hidden words challenge where he guesses and justifies a homophone in a sentence.
Finally, the student becomes a teacher and invents sentences for the adult to complete. A quick review concludes the session, with a small challenge to complete at home.
Learning is based on manipulation, play and experimentation, making the session dynamic and effective.

One on One Virtual Dyslexia Therapy / Online Reading InterventionI provide one on one virtual dyslexia therapy using Take Flight: A Comprehensive Reading Intervention for Students with Dyslexia. The curriculum was created for children who have been identified with Dyslexia. It is an individualized Orton-Gillingham based approach which addresses all areas of language development needed to create successful spellers, readers and writers.
What is Dyslexia therapy?
Intervention for dyslexia directly, explicitly and systematically teaches an awareness of the sounds of language, letter-sound associations, vocabulary and strategies for understanding written language. Guided, repeated practice enables the child to apply what they have learned efficiently. Intensity (e.g., smaller group size, extended length of sessions and treatment, more individualized lessons) is what distinguishes dyslexia intervention from regular reading instruction.
We are retraining the Dyslexic brain by lighting up the parts of the brain that are working well, and helping to compensate for the part that is weaker.
Who can teach Take Flight?
I have been certified to teach Take Flight, only certified practitioners may utilize the Take Flight program. The program was created at the Luke Waites Center for Dyslexia & Learning Disorders at the Texas Scottish Rite Hospital in Dallas, Texas. It is a highly effective, multi-sensory, explicit, systematic phonetic method of instruction for both reading and spelling. We start at the phoneme level of language, at very basic skills, and progress to the more nuanced skills such as morphology and etymology.
How often do children need therapy?
This program is intended to be taught 5 times a week for 45 minutes each session or 4 times a week for 60 minutes each session. If necessary, we can make accommodations for timing.
Therapy is a marathon, not a sprint.

Learn Reading Fluency, Spelling and Math Skills.This private course is designed to support all types of learners with the foundational skills needed for developing their reading and/or math fluency. I'm a Master Teacher with 8 years of classroom teaching and 5 years of private tutoring experience. I draw from the Orton-Gillingham methods for teaching reading and spelling to support students with dyslexia and other learning challenges. We'll get to know one another, assess the student's current level and create an individualized plan for the student during our first hour-long class. Subsequent sessions will be used to develop the targeted skills and make progress in reading and/or math fluency.
I'm looking forward to meeting you!

English classes with a patient tutor - great support for reading problems and ADHD studentsHi, I’m Branislav! I hold an MA in Arts and work as a tutor committed to helping children grow their confidence and discover the joy of learning. I specialize in supporting children with diverse learning needs, including dyslexia, autism, ADHD, and hearing impairments. I also work with students who don’t face specific challenges but benefit from personalized lessons designed to enhance their creativity and academic success.
My approach blends creativity and structure. I use techniques like art-based learning, storytelling, and interactive activities to engage students in a fun, supportive environment. This helps them overcome anxiety, build resilience, and develop a love for learning.
I work with children of all ages, from early learners to older students preparing for the next stage of their education. I also maintain open communication with parents to ensure we’re aligned on progress and goals, creating a consistent support system for the child.
I teach in English, Italian, German, and Bosnian/Serbian/Croatian (BHS), ensuring accessibility for families from diverse cultural backgrounds. Whether your child needs help overcoming challenges or simply wants to thrive, my priority is to create a safe space where every student feels valued, empowered, and capable of success.
