Maridee Roberson, B.S., C-SLDS

About the Author

Maridee wanted to be a teacher since she started Kindergarten in 1989. Despite a constant yet unexplained struggle with language skills throughout grade school, Mrs. Roberson became a passionate Kindergarten teacher in 2007 after graduating with a Bachelors of Science Degree in Early Childhood through 4th-Grade Education from the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor. While teaching, she was honored to be a private reading tutor as well.

Her title soon changed to mom and then preschool teacher as she was still driven by the same passion for literacy even in motherhood. As her family grew, she took on the role of homeschool teacher, co-op science teacher, and classical co-op director. She then took part in starting the first private school in her community as a 2nd grade teacher. These years were marked by developing curriculum and securing national accreditation while teaching students who struggled to learn to read, including her own middle child.

Maridee officially became a Structured Literacy Dyslexia Specialist in 2021 and opened Redeem Reading, a Lexercise Partner Group, sharing the methods of Structured Literacy Therapy with parents and providing best practice solutions for children and teens needing specialized and individualized reading, writing, spelling and comprehension instruction in order to reach their full potential.
