Decoding Dyslexia

TAMMY SPENCER

Founder & CEO

With over 27 years of experience in the Houston Independent School District (HISD), Tammy Spencer saw the significant gaps in support for students with dyslexia. Known as the “dyslexia lady,” she recognized the urgent need for timely diagnoses and effective educational foundations for these students.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Tammy took a leap of faith by opening her home to tutor a student with dyslexia. The success of this personalized, hands-on approach inspired her to establish the Dyslexia School of Houston. Since then, the school has supported over 160 students and counting through after-school programs and Summer Literacy Camps.

Her dedication to providing “the first good instruction” continues to transform lives through literacy.

What Our Families Are Saying About Us

I have a friend whose child was not reading in second grade, despite the district's dyslexia 'help.. In three month's time, The Code Academy had him reading on level! They do amazing work. My son will be attending the summer session!

I would like to express my gratitude for how wonderful yall are. My daughter actually enjoyed her Dyslexia testing with Linda! Your company is kind, sensitive, obviously experienced and a joy to work with. I would recommend you to everyone! Thank you for making this process easier and for making my daughter feel so comfortable!

The Code Academy was a life changing experience for my son and our entire family. Carter started out being unable to sound out simple words, and avoiding reading completely. With the explicit structured literacy approach from TCA he now reads for enjoyment! We can't say enough wonderful things about Mrs. Tammy and what she has created, a safe place for all kids to be taught the way they learn.

Alexandra attended the Houston Dyslexia Institute summer camp this year. She learned so much! She had been attending HISD and was in a SpEd program where she was pulled regularly by the dyslexia specialist. At the end of 1st grade, she struggled reading simple sight words. After only 2 weeks with Tammy at the Houston Dyslexia Institute, I noticed an entire world opened up for her. She wanted to read everything! She was so excited about reading & confident about her abilities! The Code Academy helps so many children - who even in a SpEd program in the school districts - they need this extra one on one tutoring to thrive & really understand their full potential. Not everyone thinks and learns the same way! PLEASE HELP SUPPORT THIS AWESOME CAUSE!!! Tammy was a dyslexia specialist in HISD for years - she has created a program for these kids to learn, grow, & thrive that in a traditional SpEd program, often they are left behind... because there aren't enough resources and specialists to work with these kids & they get very minimal time.
