Where Growing Readers Become Lifelong Learners
Orton-Gillingham Certified Reading Tutor
At Teaching Joyful Readers, we go beyond phonics and fluency — we help children develop curiosity, confidence, and a genuine love for learning. Through personalized, science-backed instruction that’s as joyful as it is effective, we nurture skills that last long after the lesson ends.
About Our Approach
We follow a structured literacy approach grounded in the Orton-Gillingham method — a proven, research-based framework that supports all types of learners. This method is systematic, explicit, and personalized, guiding children to understand not just what they read, but how reading truly works.
Each lesson is multi-sensory, engaging sight, sound, movement, and touch to make learning active and enjoyable. Through hands-on, interactive activities, children strengthen essential reading skills while growing in confidence and curiosity.
Our goal is to help every child become a capable, confident, and joyful reader — one step, one sound, and one success at a time.

Behind the scene of our classes
What our parents are saying!
My son, Lucas, started tutoring with Mrs. Brittney because dyslexia runs in our family and I could see that he was having trouble with his sounds and letters in kindergarten. Brittney has worked with Lucas over the last few months to better prepare him for first grade. Lucas now knows all his letters/sounds, blends, and can read on a first grade level with confidence. His teacher says he is doing great in school! He has made major improvements since working with Mrs. Brittney and he loves her lessons. -Misty H. (mom of Lucas, age 6)
Our family can't describe into words the impact working with Mrs. Brittney has made on our daughter. We sought out tutoring when our daughter was in 3rd grade and at jeopardy of failing a state test in reading that would cause her to be retained. In just a few months of working with Mrs. Brittney virtually twice a week, our daughter was able to learn how to "attack words", increase her fluency, and we saw her confidence sky rocket! We cried tears of joy when our daughter met her reading goals at grade level and was promoted to the 4th grade. Not only that, our daughter actually looks forward to tutoring. Mrs. Brittney is so kind and really has a heart for kids! We still work with Mrs. Brittney each week to stay on target, and we wouldn't be where we are in reading or spelling without Mrs. Brittney by our side! -Kate M. (mom of Annie, age 9)
