Nourishing Readers

Melodee Lee is an elementary literacy specialist with over 20 years of experience teaching children in kindergarten through sixth grade. The Reading Tree has grown from Melodee’s desire to foster a love of reading, a chance for growing, and a long-lasting pride in learning. Recognizing the need for an engaging, targeted reading program, Melodee founded The Reading Tree as a means to keep children reading, learning and excited about their education all year round. The Reading Tree offers 1:1 tutoring services, an afterschool book club and also a robust summer reading camp.
The Reading Tree is looking forward to nourishing your reader from the ground up!
“As a veteran teacher, I am committed to early reading readiness and fostering beginning literacy skills. There are few things more satisfying as an educator than seeing the spark of learning in a child’s eyes.

“Thank you so much for this amazing program. My son had his first day of school today and he was able to walk in confidently and have plenty of faces that he recognized (both teachers and other children) and I know it made a huge difference for him! We have his artwork from the Reading Tree sessions up on our art wall at home also, and he continues to reference the different books and projects!
THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO! ”
“Melodee is an extremely talented teacher who instills confidence and a love of learning in her students. My girls were lucky enough to be involved with Reading Tree camp and from day one, Melodee made them feel comfortable. By the end of the session, my girls were excited about reading and could not wait to start school. I would highly recommend the Reading Tree summer program for anyone with young children.”
“The Reading Tree program was instrumental in helping my very shy, apprehensive kindergartener begin to blossom into a self confident reader! The teachers that run the program are priceless! They made all of the children feel very warm, welcome....and smart! Thank you Mrs. Lee for all that you do. Keep up the great work!”
“I have two children who went to two summers each of Reading Tree camp. They went the summer before they started kindergarten and the summer after! My daughter even got to go when Melodee added an extra session over a break! It is a great way for an anxious child to ease into kindergarten and a great practice of skills to stay fresh during the summer break! Melodee is a warm, loving and inspirational teacher and you could not ask for a better place to send your child to learn and grow!”
