Welcome to Gravel Road Reading

I have nothing but great things to say about Mrs. Pavlak! My son has struggled with reading his whole life. By the time he entered high school I knew I needed someone to help him.
At the time my son was in 9th grade and reading about the 4th grade level, even though he was able to read the words at the high school level, he wasn’t understanding what he was reading. I shared my concerns with Mrs. Pavlak and she came up with a plan for us.

At first my son didn’t feel like he needed reading help, but after a few weeks of sessions, he was asking “when do I get to see Miss Anne again?!” He actually enjoyed reading for the first time. He wanted me to buy books she would tell him about. He wanted to make sure he got his “homework” done she gave him, and his teachers even asked what we were doing differently at home.

Mrs. Pavlak would give me updates, share wins, and show me the progress she was seeing. By the time we had our next IEP meeting, my son had met his reading and vocabulary goals that he hadn’t been able to meet in the past. He is now graduating in June and continues to make growth. We learned strategies to use even on the days he wasn’t seeing Mrs. Pavlak!

I would absolutely recommend these reading sessions, I wish I would have found her sooner!
