I'm Maggie Yolen, a literacy and learning specialist with 17 years of experience in mainstream and special education schools across New York, California, and Connecticut. I specialize in dyslexia and language-based learning disabilities, and I'm trained in Orton-Gillingham, The Writing Revolution, UFLI, and more.

I partner with schools to build equitable, research-based learning support programs, train teachers in evidence-based literacy instruction, and lead professional development. Learn more.

I also work with children and families directly, helping parents navigate evaluations, school services, and individualized support for children who are struggling with literacy development. Learn more.

And I’m the co-founder of How Now, a company that creates science-of-reading aligned books for beginning readers. Cat and Tad Volume 1 came out in November 2024, and Volume 2 in April, 2026. Visit How Now.
