My lessons provide clues for reading unfamiliar words and understanding word meanings which have been proven effective for helping students improve their reading skills.

DYSLEXIA MYTHS AND FACTS

FROM REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN

Myth: Dyslexia does not exist.

Fact: There has been over 30 years of documented, scientific evidence and research proving the existence of dyslexia. It is one of the most common learning disabilities to affect children.

Myth: Smart people cannot be dyslexic

Dyslexia and intelligence are NOT connected. Many dyslexic individuals are very bright and creative and have accomplished amazing things as adults.

Myth: Dyslexia is rare.

Fact: In the United States, NIH research has shown that dyslexia affects 5-10% of the population, with estimates as high as 17%. Some people may have more mild forms, while others may experience it more severely. Dyslexia is one of the most common causes of reading difficulties in elementary school children.

Only 1 in 10 dyslexics will qualify for an IEP and receive the special education services in order to get the help in reading that they need which is why it’s so important for parents to work with specialists and private tutors to ensure their kids stay engaged with reading (and on grade level).

People with dyslexia cannot read.
Fact: Incorrect. Most children and adults with dyslexia can read, even at a basic level. In fact, individuals with dyslexia can become terrific readers with the appropriate intervention (i.e., systematic, explicit, and research-based). It is important to test a child early in his/her school career to identify any problems and attempt to prevent major reading difficulties before they even start.
Myth: Dyslexia can be outgrown.
Fact: Dyslexia is a lifelong issue; yearly monitoring of phonological skills from first through twelfth grade shows that the disability persists into adulthood. Although many dyslexics learn to read accurately they may continue to read slowly and not automatically.

Testimonials

“After 5 years in the school system with no results, I was unsure that anyone could teach my son to read. My son was on a 1st-grade reading level when he came to Elizabeth. After 2 years, he was reading ON LEVEL!

“Your class takes such intensive direct teaching from you which appears tireless. Thank you for your efforts.”

- Jane S.

Assistant Principal, Wilkerson Intermediate School

“As my lessons continued, my grades steadily improved. Not only did I eventually catch up with my classmates, but I went on to become one of the top 10 students in my class.

Ms. Hendrix has an extraordinary gift, and I wholeheartedly recommend her for both education and mentorship.”

- Chaka P.

Former student, presently on Dean's List at Morehouse College

I have seen her small group tutorial classes and am astounded by the progress these students make over time. The confidence and gains her students make are incredible.”

Elizabeth S.

Masters in Reading, and Language Arts

“What sets Elizabeth apart is her genuine care for the whole child. She went beyond just teaching reading skills; she became an advocate at his school, ensuring he received the necessary support and fostering his overall development. Her commitment to my son’s well-being and growth was evident in every session.”
Alyah S.

Parent of former student

Elizabeth came highly recommended by the Neuhaus Education Center as she is very successful with students completing the Basic Language program. Her tutoring helped our child conquer reading on level and pass the state-required tests. Dyslexic children can be taught to learn anything. Elizabeth’s willingness to accept responsibility for these students is amazing.
