Philosophy
Every learner deserves the opportunity to soar
Through evidence-based literacy learning and heart, I help build confident readers, inspired educators, and empowered caregivers, all working together to help children become Sky Bound.
I believe…
Every Child
Deserves instruction that honors the way they learn, enabling them to become proud and capable readers. Every goal can be ambitious, meaningful, and within reach.
Every Educator
Deserves the knowledge and tools to reach each struggling reader. Every school deserves classrooms where all readers thrive.
Every Parent
Deserves clarity about their child’s learning profile, guidance, and support to navigate the journey ahead. There is a clear path forward.
When children, families, educators, and schools work together, readers don't just overcome challenges, they become Sky Bound.
Meet Amy Halpert
I wear many hats…
As the parent of a child with dyslexia, I know how it feels to see your child struggle, grapple with messy questions, and face the uncertainty.
As an Orton-Gillingham Fellow and literacy specialist, I provide joyful, evidence-based, data-driven instruction that is game-changing.
As a literacy evaluator, I dive beyond test scores to understand the whole child, identify strengths and vulnerabilities, and provide specific, actionable recommendations.
As a literacy consultant, I listen, synthesize all the pieces, and work closely with families, educators, and schools to forge a clear path.
As a teacher trainer and speaker, I translate the science into straight talk, share strategies for tomorrow, and inspire shifts in practice.
As a former special education attorney and advocate, I am committed to building successful outcomes through collaborative advocacy.
I’m glad you found me.

“Amy is a beacon of hope for the families…”
…with which she works. Her knowledge of the intricacies of the language, focus on the overall well-being of the child, and mastery of multisensory teaching strategies allow her to develop and deliver high-quality Orton-Gillingham lessons. She is an impactful interventionist, and I recommend her highly.
— Fellow, Academy of Orton-Gillingham
“Her report is the most valuable information presented at the meeting.”
Amy has uncovered everything reading-related that I had questioned. Her assessments specifically point out the weaknesses, and her recommendations are detailed and specific. I am in awe of all of this. We will use this information to make sure we are getting our daughter what she needs at school.
— Parent of 7th Grader, Greenwich, CT
“The content I learned was immediately impactful on my professional practice.”
I was able to apply the content to my day-to-day teaching experience at school and felt so well prepared to share information with colleagues and parents of my students.
