In 2010, founder Dr. Krista Johnson arrived in Memphis with a vision of community-wide literacy.

Quickly, she recognized the great inequity in access to language and literacy and the need for a remediation system focused on Title 1 public schools. With the combined talent of Krista’s expertise in the clinical world of dyslexia remediation and her team’s experience of how to make the Orton-Gillingham (OG) method effective for ALL students in the classroom, they developed a way to bring multi-sensory language programs into the public school setting and break down the barriers of elitism that have plagued this approach for so long.  The result: ALLMemphis was born in the summer of 2017 and is now serving over a thousand students community wide.
