Meet Grace Sharma
I’m an Orton-Gillingham Accredited Training Fellow, a literacy coach, and a no-nonsense champion for evidence-based reading instruction. I train educators, empower parents, and work directly with students to make sure no child gets left behind just because they learn differently.
With years of experience and training directly tied to the original Orton-Gillingham lineage, I don’t just teach OG—I live it. Let’s transform the way reading is taught in your classroom, school, or home.
Why I Do This Work
I didn’t just learn Orton-Gillingham—I trained under some of the best in the field, including Karen Leopold, whose own training can be traced directly back to Dr. Orton and Anna Gillingham themselves.
This isn’t just a job for me—it’s a mission. Through Empowered Readers, I provide:
- Hands-on teacher training so educators can implement OG the right way
- Workshops for schools & districts looking to improve literacy instruction
- Support for parents who are ready to advocate for their kids
- Tutoring for students who need structured literacy instruction to thriveI know what works. I’ve seen what doesn’t. And I’m here to make sure no child is left behind just because they learn differently.
