Hello! I’m Valerie

I am a former classroom teacher (B.A., Elementary Education) with a passion to equip struggling readers for academic success through Orton-Gillingham phonological support. I am a trained Special Education Advocate for families and students with learning differences, including 504 and IEP needs. Assistance with the identification of relevant testing needs and referrals for diagnosis of a suspected learning disability. I will work to ensure school implementation of academic support, accommodations, and modifications.

My Story

Wilson Reading System

The Wilson Reading System (WRS) is a structured literacy program based on phonological-coding research and Orton-Gillingham principles, WRS directly and systematically teaches the structure of the English language. Through the program, students learn fluent decoding and encoding skills and receive instruction in phonemic awareness, decoding and word study, sight word recognition, spelling, fluency, vocabulary, oral expressive language development, and comprehension.

“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.”

– Valerie Duvall

I can honestly say that, without her advocacy, expertise and support with my son’s teachers and counselors, I am not sure where we would be in this journey. We are grateful to Valerie Duvall for her leadership and she has become a part of our extended family.”

Revida

“Like the dyslexic brain, Mrs. Duvall knows the Wilson Reading System method forwards and backwards, inside and out. Her experience, combined with her gentle guidance and encouragement, has helped our son go from not knowing his alphabet at age 7 as a non-reader to loving to read chapter books in under 3 years. We are incredibly thankful and blessed to have her tutoring our son. Because of her, he will have the skills he needs to be successful in life.”

Luellyn & James Hensley

“Our family cannot say enough about the work that Mrs. Duvall did with our daughter. We saw a tremendous amount of growth throughout her time working with her and have continued to see the benefits well past completion of the program. Our daughter now has a strong foundation in reading and the tools necessary to face challenges that arise. Mrs. Duvall also helped build her confidence in a loving, supportive environment – something that is very important when working with students who are struggling. We cannot imagine using or recommending anyone else other than Mrs. Duvall!”
