Empowering students with dyslexia and other learning challenges to master reading using science-backed instruction.
Are you feeling concerned or stressed about your child's progress in reading, fluency, or comprehension? Does your child struggle to retain learned skills, often taking two steps forward and three steps back? Has frustration begun to set in?
If this describes you or your child, we are here to help!
At Ed Memory, we use proven methods that match how the brain naturally learns to read. We help students build a strong foundation for life by connecting everything from basic sounds to word meanings. This gives our students the skills and confidence they need to become successful readers.
Reading skills can be abstract and challenging for children. At Ed Memory, we provide support (scaffolds) for each lesson and help learning 'stick' by using pictures and other engaging strategies. This support helps turn the abstract ideas into memorable, concrete ones.
Using our Hands-On Blending and Segmenting Program and Maryanne Wolf's literacy intervention program, RAVE-O, helps our students develop the skills necessary for success in reading, fluency, and comprehension.

What is Phonological Awareness?
A simple view of phonological awareness (PA) is the ability to understand that the sounds of our spoken language are connected to written language. This foundational literacy skill develops along a continuum, preparing a student for reading and spelling by helping them blend and segment word parts.
Without phonological understanding, a student must rely on memorizing words by sight, a strategy that can limit the development of reading fluency.

We are pleased to partner with Maryanne Wolf and her publisher to offer RAVE-O, a one-of-a-kind intervention program, which is not yet available in school districts.

RAVE-O is a research-based, structured literacy program designed by Maryanne Wolf and published by Nido Learning. RAVE-O's focus is to build students’ reading fluency and comprehension through a multi-component approach.
Each unit in RAVE-O teaches students metacognitive strategies that develop skills in multiple components of reading, including phonics, phoneme awareness, English orthography, vocabulary, syntax, and morphology.

Connecting the Parts: RAVE-O is the only program that simultaneously integrates phonology, orthography, semantics, syntax, the alphabetic principle, and morphology.
Fluent Comprehension: This integration facilitates fluent comprehension, particularly in deep reading processes such as inference, empathy, and critical analysis.

A federal study conducted by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) funded a
Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) regarding the effectiveness of RAVE-O.
The study found that students receiving instruction in RAVE-O outperformed comparison groups in areas of decoding, vocabulary, and comprehension.

We are one of the few educational learning services specializing in instructing RAVE-O, a reading program authored by the leading reading neuroscientist, Maryanne Wolf.
RAVE-O (Retrieval, Automaticity, Vocabulary, Engagement, and Orthography) focuses on using a multi-componential approach. To target the "reading brain" as a whole, rather than focusing primarily on phonics or decoding. RAVE-O is specifically designed to address naming-speed deficits and the "double deficit" (struggles with both phonological awareness and rapid naming).
It is simple! Connect with us by phone or through our Contact Us form to schedule a complimentary 20-minute consultation. I will contact you within 24 hours of receiving your contact information. Looking forward to learning more about you and your child's needs.
To understand your child's needs, we provide a series of assessments that include phonological awareness, word decoding, reading rate, as well as accuracy and comprehension skills.
We also use rating scales to determine your child's Fundamental Language, Executive Function, and Working Memory skills.
Gathering student information enables us to create a personalized learning plan tailored to your child's strengths and needs.
We do not diagnose students; however, we create a plan for learning success based on information gathered from our assessments and rating scales.
We offer three student instructional options for our families:

Carleen M. Paul, M.S., ET/P
Repeating first grade solidified that elementary school was not fun for me. I became embarrassed to be singled out and placed in the "lowest group." Humiliation set in when I was announced as being slow and was ordered to the back of the classroom. Then came reading. I quickly realized that reading out loud was the worst! Adults would try to help me read with good intentions, but they would soon become frustrated and exclaim, "Just read the words on the page!" Ugh, that's what I thought I was doing!
Tenacity became my best friend through those early years, even though my mom often called it stubbornness. I began to memorize whole words and connect letter patterns, stumbling through the process of learning to read.
Wanting to prevent other students from experiencing the same educational shame, I went to college. I soon realized that my educational degrees had limited my understanding of current reading practices, so I continued to learn.
Having used Maryanne Wolf's RAVE-O since its beginning in 20o8, I find the updated version even more effective. The new online component and expanded modules have accelerated student reading growth while fostering a genuine love for reading.
Thank you for taking the time to learn about my story. Feel free to reach out so I may learn about your story and how I may help you and your child.
