After spending years helping students in a classroom setting she founded Beacon Valley Literacy Support Services to help parents.


Melissa notes, “All children are smart, talented, and gifted in their own way. Reading difficulties are just hurdles that we must jump to win the race in the long run.”


Many times she would be in long meetings with parents on the verge of tears, frustrated, and unhappy because their kid would struggle to read even the easiest words.

Melissa’s humor, experience, and expertise have made her a sought after consultant, expert teacher, and friend to parents and students alike. Her knowledge, explanations, strategies, and hard nose advice is transforming and impacting families.
