Self-Esteem Rebuilds Once Reading Finally Clicks.
Faye Bankler Casell, Licensed Dyslexia Therapist
When the teaching method matches the brain, reading skills develop.
A therapeutic-level reading intervention program taught by a dyslexia therapist.
You press play to learn alongside your child, and follow video guidance and written plans for hands-on practice at home.
If you can read a recipe, you can do the home activities. It's the same concept: just follow the steps!
Your child shifts.
Before ➡️ After
"I'm just stupid!"
"Dyslexia is when smart kids have a hard time reading, so we get taught in a way that works with our brains."
Avoids reading & gives excuses, "I forgot," "I went too fast..."
Confidence starts rebuilding and your child is more willing to read out loud.
Meltdowns, tears, or fights about homework: "I hate reading!"
Sits down for specific period of time and makes an effort. Starts showing faith in their ability to learn.
You feel lost and alone. Nothing has worked, and when you try to help your child, it's a fight."
The teacher says, "Whatever you're doing at home is working." The tears at homework time ease up.
EFFORT was not the problem;
the APPROACH needed to change.
We now have a daughter who loves to read and is reading at grade level and will happily stand and read in front of her class - all unthinkable three years ago...

Why This Program?
You've tried it all: the apps, the tutors, reading more, the extra help, and the conferences with the school.
But still, nothing has worked.
And now your child is:
1+ year below grade level,
the gap is widening,
and self-esteem keeps dropping.
Reading Breakthrough is an intensive, therapist-level reading program where a Dyslexia Therapist and family member partner to deliver an intensive intervention in the home, according to the family's schedule.
The parent involvement part makes me a little anxious. It can be stressful when I try to help.
What should I expect?
"Miss Coco" teaches the lessons on video, directly to your child, in a sequential, cumulative, explicit, multisensory way, in alignment with the International Dyslexia Association.
You press play 4x/week (ideally), learn concepts alongside your child, and guide simple hands-on practice as modeled by me: letter formation, retelling stories, or decodable reading sheets. It's a balance of practice and play.
If you can play a board game with your child, you can do these activities. The directions are straightforward and simple. I do the hard parts on video, and you do the fun stuff at home.
With the Reading Breakthrough "Get/Yet Executive Functioning Support" structure, easily take agreed upon movement breaks to relax the body, bring the brain online, and encourage focus through dopamine production.
You can split up the standard session across your day, in a family-friendly format. Usually, for Dyslexia Therapy, children see a therapist for 50-60 minute session, 3-5 times/week.
Your sessions can broken up in blocks, either all on four of the same day, or across the week (click image for details).
The International Dyslexia Association recommends 4/week in order to support rewiring of the brain.
The time you invest in these weeks can benefit your child's life for years to come.
The intensity, frequency, and duration are what makes a dyslexia program therapeutic. It's the same frequency your child would get in an $80-200/hour therapy office.
The programs that promise results in 10 minutes a day aren't built for moderate to significant dyslexia; Reading Breakthrough is.
I model the use of the 5W comprehension cards in a parent video.
No teaching experience needed. I show you exactly what to do in short parent guidance videos.
If you know how to sit beside your child and play a simple game, you can do the activities.
You're not their teacher. You're their champion!
Right now, reading together might end in tears.
That shifts when "Miss Coco" teaches & you participate as an encouraging learning partner.
The nervous system starts sending safety signals to the brain, and your child's faith in their ability returns.
