Your child will begin their journey with one of our highly trained interventionists, starting with a baseline assessment appointment to identify their current skill level and set clear, data-driven goals. From there, they’ll receive year-round, personalized intervention two to three times per week, guided by Wilson’s structured 12-step program. As they progress, you’ll see measurable growth, increased confidence, and the essential tools they need to thrive in any learning environment.

Melissa Roberson – Founder, Retrain 2 Read


I’m Melissa Roberson, founder of Retrain 2 Read. With a master’s degree in elementary education and over two decades of experience as a classroom teacher and private tutor, I’ve devoted my career to helping children unlock the power of reading and become confident, lifelong learners.

​

I am a certified instructor in the Wilson Reading System® (WRS), an intensive, structured literacy program based on the Orton-Gillingham approach. WRS is designed specifically for students with reading difficulties, including dyslexia, and provides explicit, systematic instruction in phonemic awareness, word structure, fluency, and comprehension. It gives struggling readers the tools they need not just to catch up—but to thrive.

At Retrain 2 Read, we believe that reading is the foundation for all learning. Our team of highly trained interventionists shares this belief and is committed to helping each student develop strong reading skills, a resilient mindset, and the confidence to succeed in school and beyond. We’ve witnessed time and again how personalized instruction and consistent support can transform a child’s academic path—and their life.

“The Wilson Reading System works so well because it is a scaffolded system that teaches sound instruction based on the Orton-Gillingham approach. I have seen a 100% success rate with students who complete the entire 12-step program with year-round instruction. The initial non-readers have made the most dramatic gains in decoding, encoding, and fluency. Coupled with at-home workbook work, students marinate in step-by-step phonological instruction for applied mastery.”

"I wholeheartedly endorse Missy Roberson as a teacher, particularly with regard to helping children read. As both a former employer of Missy and a parent of a child in her class, I am confident of her tender care for each student, expertise in reading development, ability to discipline and “push” when needed, and professionalism. She is a person of character whom I trust wholeheartedly. I highly recommend her and believe that every child (and family) who works with her will grow and be blessed beyond measure!"
