Elizabeth Miller: Certified reading specialist for all kinds of learning disabilities.

Elizabeth Miller -
Certified reading specialist
and teacher of the handicapped.

Elizabeth Miller works with children and adults with all kinds of learning disabilities. Her tutoring program is individualized to the student after a battery of diagnostic tests . After a diagnosis is made, Mrs. Miller creates a unique and individual program of games and reading tasks that work. Most children show an immediate and lasting improvement not only in their reading skills, but in thinking skills, self confidence and self esteem too.
Through new breakthroughs in brain research, we now know that reading is a very complicated task. Children with reading difficulties should be taught by an expert, not the teacher's aide or volunteer mother in the classroom like some schools allow. The teaching of reading to a learning disabled child IS rocket science. However, the average elementary teacher had only 6 credits, two courses in the teaching of reading in college. So if your child is having reading problems of any kind, call the "Reading Doctor", Elizabeth Miller. If you suspect your child might have a reading problem or learning disability, look for the following signs:

Complains that reading is easier for everyone else
has no idea how to decode unknown words
falls significantly behind peers
avoids reading
seems to guess at unknown words in an irrational way
focuses so much on decoding that all meaning is lost
poor speller
starts to withdraw
exhibits other troubling behavior
hates school
