Tia Schwab - Reading Specialist
"Literacy is not a gift, it's a science. Every child deserves the key to unlock the loop of language and learning."
As a dedicated Reading Specialist at The Literacy Loop, I bring years of expertise in structured literacy and the science of reading. My approach is methodical yet compassionate, designed to close the gap for students who struggle with traditional instruction. With professional qualifications in evidence-based pedagogical strategies, I focus on decoding the complexities of written language, ensuring that literacy comes full circle for every learner I support.
The Science of Structured Literacy
Our methodology is rooted in the Science of Reading—a gold-standard body of research that informs how the brain learns to read. We bridge the gap between research and practice through a systematic, cumulative approach designed for every type of learner.
Phonemic Foundation
We begin with the smallest units of sound. By strengthening phonological awareness, we provide students with the necessary cognitive tools to decode language with precision and confidence.
Explicit & Cumulative Phonics
Instruction is direct and logical. We follow a strict sequence that moves from simple to complex structures, ensuring no gaps are left in a child’s understanding of the English code.
Multisensory Integration
We utilize visual, auditory, and kinesthetic-tactile pathways simultaneously to enhance memory and learning. This multi-channel approach makes learning durable and engaging.
