Staley Learning

Many people use the terms reading delay and dyslexia interchangeably, but they are not the same thing.

A reading delay describes what we can see – a child who is reading below the level expected for their age. Dyslexia is a specific learning difference that may help explain why those reading difficulties are happening.

Understanding the difference matters because the right support starts with the right understanding. While some children with reading delays may catch up with targeted intervention, children with dyslexia often need more specialised and structured support.

In this visual, I’ve broken down some of the key differences between reading delay and dyslexia in a simple, easy-to-understand format for parents, educators, and professionals.

📚☀️ Summer Tutoring Spots Still Available at Staley Learning! ☀️📚

Looking for personalized Reading and writing support this summer?

Services include:
✅ Reading comprehension
✅ Writing skills
✅ Grammar and language conventions

🏡 Homeschool families welcome! I offer an initial reading and writing assessment to help determine your child's current performance level and identify strengths and areas for growth. This provides valuable insight into the grade level at which your child is reading and writing and helps guide individualized instruction.

Summer learning doesn’t have to feel like schoolwork. ☀️📚✏️

For students who are already on track, summer is the perfect time to strengthen reading comprehension, build writing confidence, and keep critical thinking skills sharp — all while avoiding the “summer slide.”

Reading and writing enrichment helps students:
• Maintain academic momentum
• Expand vocabulary and comprehension
• Improve communication and creativity
• Start the new school year feeling confident and prepared

A little consistency over the summer can make a BIG difference in the fall.

My Dear Friends and Families,
It has been such a blessing to work with all of y’all over the past year and a half. I have been given an amazing opportunity with Region 16. For the time being I will not be taking any new clients and will be taking a break. I plan to reevaluate time once I am more settled in this role.
I have enjoyed meeting all the new families and being entrusted to help with your kids in the adventure of education. With love, Tori 💕

I love to start a new month planned and ready to go. Right now the easiest time for me to plan is during nap time. I like to grab a hot cup of coffee and plan out the whole month. Each Sunday we have a family meeting to get on the same page for the up coming week.
🗓️What does this look like for your family?
