About Denecia

Hello I am the owner and CEO of Love to Read Inc. I earned a Master's degree in special education from the University of Phoenix, in which I have possess 23 years of classroom experience helping children read. In addition, I am a certified Reading Interventionist. I have taught grades kindergarten-Ninth grade, in a variety of subjects including children with learning and behavioral issues. As a teacher I have witnessed children that struggled with reading and were embarrassed to read. This embarrassment caused the child to shut down, reluctant to go to school or have behavior issues. To help the child overcome embarrassment I would read along with the child or the entire class would read together. In addition, I would allow the child/children who struggled with reading have lunch with me and that would be our reading time. This afforded me the opportunity to develop their reading skills without them feeling alone, not smart or ostracized but feeling the love from a teacher who cared.

I remember a former student of mine with tears in his eyes said, "I don't know how to read, Ms. Gulley." His struggle to read caused him frustration. Those words resonated in my mind and heart years later. His words were one of the reason why I became even more passionate about reading and developing students love for reading. I decided to leave the classroom and work with children one-on-one to maximize thier learning potential.

The excitement for me is to see the students excel in reading. Seeing them propel to their highest potential from learning to read to reading to learn. I encourage my students to never give up, believe in themselves because there is greatness in them.

Is your child embarrassed to read? Do they say..."I can't read, I don't like school?" HELP IS HERE!!! Hiring me your child will be HEARD, SEEN and GIVEN an opportunity to learn reading skills at a pace that allows him/her to gain confidence in reading.

I care about the success for all children. My goal is to provide the best reading services so that no child is left behind. Teachers play an important role in jumpstarting a child's success.

The reason I decided to tutor was as a teacher I witnessed children that struggled with reading and were embarrassed to read. This embarrassment caused the child to shut down, reluctant to come to school or have behavior issues. To help the child overcome feeling embarrassed I would read along with the child or the entire class would read out loud together. In addition, I would let the child/children have lunch with me and that would be our reading time. This afforded me the opportunity to develop their reading skills without them feeling alone, ostracized or believing they were not smart as their classmates. I wanted them to feel the love from a teacher that cared. I remember a former student of mine with tears in his eyes said, “I don’t know how to read, Ms. Gulley.” His struggle to read caused him frustration. His words resonated in my heart and mind years later. His words were one of the reasons why I became even more passionate to leave the traditional classroom and tutor reading one-on-one. Tutoring allows me to maximize the child’s learning potential.

The education I have that relates to my work is I have a M.Ed. from the University of Phoenix. In addition, I have attended various professional development and currently I am obtaining a certificate as a Reading Interventionist. I have over 20 years of experience in the classroom. I have helped struggling readers read.

About the lesson

My typical process when working with a new student is first I have a parent consualtion. I asked the parent various questions regarding the child's reading challenges. Based on the information provided a free reading assessment is given to the child. This assessement will let me know where they are struggling and I create a plan of attack that will close those reading gaps.

The type of customers I have worked with are dyslexic students, ADHD students and students with behavior issues and learning challenges.

The advice I would give a customer is if you know your child is struggling in reading do not wait get the necessary intervention needed so that those reading gaps are closed quickly. The longer you wait the further the child will be left behind. I have a parent who contacted me 6 months ago about her kindergartener and stated she is going call me to tutor her son. I did not hear from her until last week. She called me crying because her child is going to 1st grade and can’t read words, blend sounds or read 2 to 3 word sentences. He only read pictures. She has signed up for me to tutor him this summer. The reason I shared this story, please do not wait to get your child the necessary help so they will succeed academically.

I would not say this was a project but I am able to close the reading gaps with struggling readers. The amount of time is predicated upon where the child is in reading. However, parents have seen reading gains within a year. Again, it is predicated upon where the child is in reading.

A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
The questions customers should think through is am I willing as a parent to investment my time and finances in my child’s education? What is the value of my child’s education? Is this the right person for my child? Have you worked with children who have the same learning challenges as my child? As a parent what can I do to support the process? What is your policy for make-up sessions? How do you measure progress?

A shout out goes to our daughter Gracie excelling in her tutoring with Necia Gulley . Me and her dad has seen a big difference in her reading so far. Before she started tutoring she was struggling but now almost 2 months later we have noticed her confidence has grown and she is now excited to read. Also got a call from her teacher and she is very proud of her progress as well. We all couldn't be more proud of where our daughter is and how far she has come. We want to give a huge thank you to her tutor she is the absolute best reading teacher for our daughter and couldn't be happier with the results that she is showing us weekly. I really believe she is a God sent for our daughter. If anyone is looking for a tutor for your child I definitely recommend her.

If you value the gift of reading which opens up a new world for children who require professional support, patient and guidance and someone who delights in that magic moment when they no longer need training wheels I am hear to say you will not be disappointed with Love to Read. Ms. Gulley has been my answer to my grandson's reading success. He had behavior issues and failing grades because he struggled with reading. Because of this wonderful lady my grandson's self-esteem, confidence and grades have grown and improved not only in reading but as a person. Thank you for your patience, professionalism and compassion you have shown to me and my family.
