OG Testimonials
"The progress we have seen from our twin boys after less than a year of tutoring at Literacy Nassau has been astounding. Their tutoring sessions are fun and engaging and their tutor is warm and encouraging; it’s an incredibly safe, loving space and they are both thriving. I’m also grateful for the support I receive as a parent of children with dyslexia. All of my questions are answered thoughtfully and I have been given resources and ideas to cultivate a love of reading in my children despite the inherent challenges. Our family is forever grateful to Literacy Nassau in helping us navigate dyslexia and teaching our children to read and write!" -Aimee
"As a teacher and a parent of a child with dyslexia, I was always looking to learn more about teaching children with learning disabilities. Literacy Nassau was key in helping me get trained in the Orton Gillingham approach. The staff provided professional development, created a partnership with their students to allow for growth and practice for both the tutor and the student, and was instrumental in navigating the certification process. Learning and working with Literacy Nassau made me a stronger teacher and greater asset for my child." -Keri
"Francesca benefited from the tutoring center at Literacy Nassau! She is recognizing much more words and reading is becoming easier for her. It is an awesome program!" -Patricia
"On behalf of Mineola SEPTA, thank you so much for taking the time to speak to us about your program. Your education about dyslexia was invaluable and the services that Literacy Nassau provides helps to give affordable tutoring to those in need. Many parents do not know that there are warning signs that can be recognized as early as pre-K and that there are ways to remediate it early on as well."
"Literacy Nassau has been working with my son for over a year and a half. They have helped my son grow as a reader in so many ways! They have been wonderful in the way they are able to focus on his strengths and address his weaknesses at the same time. They have provided him with tools necessary for him to read independently and to believe in himself! My son has shown a steady progress and he has developed valuable skills as a reader. He wasn’t even able to read a short sentence before he started working at LN. His abilities have increased and he feels a lot more confident. I am very grateful."

"I just wanted you to know how thrilled we are with Melissa. She and my son have really hit it off.
I have loved watching Melissa teach and watch Ryan learn that I would like to inquire about getting trained myself. I would love to give back to the community the way Melissa is". -Stacey
"Literacy Nassau was a game changer for my son. He learned so much in a short amount of time. He will always struggle with reading but I believe literacy Nassau made a huge impact at such a crucial time. It’s been 2 years and my son is still using skills he learned from Literacy Nassau. Thank you for all your help." -Lourdes
"My son was diagnosed with dyslexia before starting 2nd grade and he had failed to make any meaningful progress after receiving three years of reading services at school and trying other private tutoring services. After years of frustration and falling behind, he finally began making progress with the OG method at Literacy Nassau. Mary, with Literacy Nassau, was the first tutor that really connected with him and I began to see him make real progress. She was wonderful- so kind and patient and so clearly talented at what she does."

"As an educator, I knew my son struggled with literacy since a young age. We tried many different programs for many years. We have tried a variety of multi sensory reading programs but we finally started to see progress when he started OG at Literacy Nassau. We are very pleased and grateful with all the success." -Amy
"I just wanted to share my daughter’s benchmarking for the second grade! I am so thrilled I could cry! In January of last year, she benchmarked at a Level D - barely! After that, even with steady tutoring from her English teacher mother, she made zero progress and started at level D in September. With her tutor’s diligent work, she has increased three levels in 4 months! Not only that, but all her teachers have remarked on her increased self-esteem as well as her progress. I am incredibly grateful for this program and her tutor, Jeannie. It has meant the world to us! My daughter and Jeannie have an incredible relationship together and I can’t rave enough about her. She is marvelous! Thank you, thank you, thank you!" -Melinda
