TESTIMONIALS

Reading Specialist

“This training brought Orton-Gillingham to life for me. The presentation was lively, accessible, hands-on, and immediately useful. It has changed the way I observe and respond to my students; as a result, my teaching is increasingly targeted and effective.”

Parents

STUDENT

“Meeting Laurie changed our son’s life. She brings understanding of the English language to children struggling and those who have lost confidence in themselves. She made reading enjoyable and accessible. Not only did our son gain confidence in reading and writing stories, but she encouraged his imagination; they forged a special bond. We are deeply grateful.”

“When I started going to Green River Literacy, I was in 3rd grade and didn’t know how to read. I was nervous because I had met with teachers and tutors and nothing seemed to work. We started off slowly and the tutor made sure that I was understanding everything. I now feel that I am a reader and a writer! And I have an incredible friend.”

“Laurie Cousseau changes lives. She teaches her students the tools they need to learn to read effectively and efficiently in a way that eliminates years of frustration and disappointment. Most importantly, she inspires children to believe in themselves, providing the appropriate balance of challenge and support to create confident and competent readers.”

Laurie Cousseau has been an incredible resource for us regarding the new Dyslexia Requirements as well as one of the most competent reading and language acquisition professionals I have had the privilege to collaborate with. We brought Laurie here to conduct a "literacy audit" for the district several years ago. Following her assessment, she overhauled our phonic program and provided all the Professional Development and coaching to ensure mastery and efficacy as well as building a successful ‘team’ and longterm infrastructure.
