Two years of teaching elementary students who struggled with literacy gave McKenna firsthand experience identifying where decoding, fluency, or comprehension breaks down. She builds targeted exercises around phonemic awareness and sight-word recognition for younger readers, while older students get scaffolded strategies for tackling longer texts. Her certified reading intervention approach is patient and structured, meeting each learner's specific gaps.

I received my degree in Elementary Education from York College of Pennsylvania. I then attended McDaniel College where I received a masters degree in reading and became a Reading Specialist. My love for teaching reading continued and I furthered my education at Mount Saint Mary's University for training in Reading Recovery. I started my career teaching kindergarten and currently am a reading specialist in my school district, where I work one on one and in small groups with struggling readers. My passion is for tutoring early learners to help them gain the skills they need to grow as readers and writers. In my tutoring sessions I love to get to know my learners interests and personalities. I incorporate manipulatives, sight word games, leveled texts, and writing into sessions to make sessions more engaging. I love to build confidence in my learners by focusing on their strengths in order to get the most amount of growth out of my learners. My hobbies include exercise, spending time with my family, and going to the beach.

Frequently Asked Questions
Certified Reading Intervention is a structured, evidence-based approach designed to help students who are falling behind in reading skills. It focuses on foundational components like phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension through targeted, systematic instruction. For students in Fort Worth who are struggling with reading, this specialized intervention can help close gaps and build confidence in a way that general classroom instruction alone may not address.
Look for tutors who hold certification in reading intervention programs such as Orton-Gillingham, Wilson Reading System, or similar evidence-based methodologies. These certifications require specialized training in the science of reading and how to diagnose and address specific reading difficulties. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who have demonstrated expertise in these areas and understand how to personalize instruction for each student's unique needs.
With 12 school districts and over 151,000 students across Fort Worth, reading needs vary widely—from decoding and fluency issues to comprehension and analytical reading skills. Many students struggle with phonemic awareness, sight word recognition, or connecting reading to writing. A certified reading intervention tutor can assess where your student is struggling and create a targeted plan to address those specific gaps.
The first session typically involves an assessment to understand your student's current reading level, strengths, and areas for improvement. The tutor will ask about reading history, any previous interventions, and specific challenges your student faces. From there, they'll develop a personalized plan that targets foundational skills and builds toward fluency and comprehension—creating a roadmap for progress.
Many students begin showing measurable progress within 4-6 weeks of consistent, targeted instruction, though timelines vary based on the severity of reading difficulties and frequency of sessions. Regular practice and reinforcement between sessions accelerates progress. A certified reading intervention tutor will track progress through informal assessments and adjust strategies as needed to keep your student moving forward.
Strong reading skills form the foundation for writing—students who understand phonics, fluency, and text structure are better equipped to organize their own writing and develop ideas clearly. A tutor can help your student apply reading comprehension strategies to understand how authors structure essays and arguments, which directly strengthens their own writing abilities. This integrated approach helps students see reading and writing as connected skills rather than separate tasks.
Varsity Tutors makes it easy to connect with certified reading intervention tutors who work with students in Fort Worth. You can specify your student's grade level, reading challenges, and preferred tutoring style, and we'll match you with a tutor whose expertise fits your needs. Most tutors offer flexible scheduling and personalized instruction tailored to your student's learning style.
Reading intervention tutoring rates vary based on the tutor's certifications, experience, and your location in the Fort Worth area. Most tutors offer session-by-session pricing rather than long-term contracts, so you have flexibility. We recommend discussing rates and package options directly with tutors when you connect—many are happy to explain their pricing and help you find a solution that works for your budget.
