Once you’ve had the opportunity to get to know Meghan, you won’t be surprised to learn that the students with whom she works are her biggest fans!

Student Success Stories
Even his older sister lit up when he started to read the books Ms. Schelzi gave us at home, saying "He is doing it! He is reading!"
Reading is still something that requires a lot of hard work, however my child now feels much more self confident and positive about himself as a reader.
It was the best feeling for both of us to have him reading books for the first time in his 7 years!
Before this, his teachers and other private tutors just had him drilling word sounds which did nothing to foster his confidence and interest in reading. Now he can see his hard work actually paying off and he feels so good about himself. ​

Ms. Schelzi. She has the unique ability to hold kids accountable for 30 minutes of reading work while also being warm, engaging, and fun.
It takes someone very gifted and experienced with kids to be able to carefully balance these two things and she does it so well.
"...more importantly, she restored and built confidence in my daughter."
Our family first connected with Meghan Schelzi during the fall of 2020 when we were looking for tutoring for our 2nd grader who was struggling with reading. Meghan immediately knew how to connect with our strong willed little girl and quickly made each tutoring session a fun experience that my daughter looked forward to. Meghan has an energetic and engaging personality and was able to make learning fun! Meghan worked hard to build reading fluency for my daughter, but more importantly, she restored and built confidence in my daughter.
Meghan was an integral part of my daughter’s development as a reader – prior to working with Meghan, my daughter struggled in school and had no interest in reading. She would say “reading just wasn’t for her” and that it “was too hard to read and she didn’t like books”. Fast forward two years, my daughter is thriving in school and has made tremendous strides in her reading fluency and comprehension. I am not sure what we would have done without Meghan and we are so thankful for her talent, energy, and true passion for empowering each and every child that she works with to be their best version of themselves.
Meghan is a gem and we are so thankful to have found her!

Why Parents Choose Reading Foundations w/ Ms. Schelzi
1st Grade Parent
Now he's excited to learn, and especially excited when it comes to any "challenge"- what a great attitude to have about learning!
3rd Grade Parent
Thank you for keeping things fun and light. She enjoyed working on spelling today and seemed to learn a lot in a short period of time, precisely because you kept it fun and made her feel confident.
2nd Grade Parent
When asked to read or write he used to cry, on the way home from school he would cry…Now a year later, I take books away from him at night!
