Hi! I am Dr. Alison Parker, Ph.D., a Private Practice Literacy Coach and Reading Specialist from Brooklyn, New York. I coach mothers by offering strategies, tools, & services to help you teach your child to read accurately, fluently, & independently!
Since 2012, I have owned Purposeful Learning Academy, a tutoring center where I provide online and in-person tutoring for struggling readers and dyslexic children. My career has spanned over 25 years as a classroom teacher and literacy coach.
School systems are struggling to teach our most vulnerable children: students with IEPs/in Special education/with dyslexia. Children get stuck on tricky words and do not know how to decode them. You need help supporting them. Let me coach you! This year, my mission is to help empower 1,000 new mothers by giving you the tools and strategies you need to help your children improve their reading skills at home, so we can eradicate the reading achievement gap!

1. Trouble learning and remembering letter names and their sounds
2. Has trouble reading at least 100 words fluently
3. Poor phonemic awareness (rhyming words and segmenting sounds)
4. Guessing when reading- No word attack and word solving skills
5. Does not know enough sight words/can't remember the sight words they've learned
(Words like: they, want, what, where, said, once, there, saw, why, only, and more).
