Reading & Spelling Success for the Student with Dyslexia
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. More information HERE.
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!
The success rate of this program has not at all been determined by HOW children connect with me.
I do have an option for a hybrid approach that eventually transitions into online lessons after moving through the Barton Basics in-person in the beginning.
If this interests you, please contact me HERE for more details.
I use TutorBird to keep in touch with my families.
The TutorBird platform serves as a communication hub that allows me to connect 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!
Conducting an assessment of your child's current status is often very helpful.
If you are on a waiting list for formal diagnosis testing, or perhaps in process of the school conducting their own surveys and assesments, I can help.
Having a dyslexia assessment is not essential to working together, 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 Dyslexia Screener created by Brock Eide M.D., M.A. and Fernette Eide M.D, who are a husband and wife team from the PNW dedicated to the study of dyslexia. I have found it to be an excellent assessment tool, providing thorough yet comprehensive information that can be a great tool to have for IEP meetings with school staff and other professionals in the field.
Please connect with me HERE to discuss this option.
