Meet Our Board of Directors
Michelle Roy M.Ed, CALT, LDT
PRESIDENT
After 11 years of teaching in her public school classroom, Michelle’s heart kept pulling her toward the students who struggled most with reading. She couldn’t shake the feeling that these children needed something more, and she was determined to be the one to give it to them. With passion and purpose, she courageously stepped away from traditional teaching to devote herself entirely to the science of reading.
Michelle believes that reading success starts with a strong foundation, and she has poured her heart into creating a curriculum that is engaging, research-based, and designed for early readers. Her mission is to empower teachers and students everywhere, breaking down barriers so that every child can experience the joy and confidence of becoming a reader—because no child should have to struggle alone.

MEMBER
Cristin Matula is well versed in the education sector with 9 years of teaching experience in a middle school classroom. It was during those experiences where she couldn’t help but notice the glaring need for more specific interventions for struggling readers. Students were being left behind because they could not afford or did not have access to quality literacy instruction. As a mom of three the importance of foundational literacy for all children has become a passion of hers. She is honored and blessed to be able to join this noble dream of providing resources to get the help that so many students desperately need.
