Reading & Spelling Success for the Student with Dyslexia
Online Tutoring Services
I offer lively and engaging sessions.
I incorporate multi-sensory components that are at the core of the Orton Gillingham-style method, along with structure and a systematic procedure. Barton Reading and Spelling is evidence-based and one of the most successful programs available. It is not uncommon for children to experience success within the first three months of our working together.
My students tune-in with me at a minimum of two times per week. Each personalized session is 50 minutes in length. Educational games are incorporated into our curriculum to keep the environment fun, engaging and visual.
At the conclusion of each level, a post-test review is given to assure that the student has a solid understanding of the materials learned. It is important for concepts to be mastered before moving ahead to the next level.
Online tutoring provides a great environment for children with dyslexia to learn!
Efficient in both time and energy for busy families, children tune-in with me from either home or school. No commuting time and cost. Staying healthy is just a little bit easier, too!
I use TutorBird to keep in touch with my families.
The TutorBird platform serves as a communication hub that connects me with my families on a regular basis. It facilitates communication, provides updates on progress, offers a central location for file sharing, and streamlines invoicing and payments—all in one convenient place!
Assessments are typically given at the beginning of our work together, before remediation starts. Having an assessment is not essential, but it does provide a snapshot of the child's current abilities and can allow us to establish the strengths and weaknesses specific to your child and how I can best help them succeed.
I utilize the Neurolearning Dyslexic Screener created by Brock Eide M.D., M.A. and Fernette Eide M.D, who are a husband and wife team dedicated to the study of dyslexia. Along with providing the probability of dyslexia risk, it also gives results on important existing conditions such as working memory and visual processing. I have found it to be an excellent assessment tool.
