My Specialization
I specialize in helping elementary students who struggle with reading or have dyslexia. Currently, I am pursuing certification in the Barton Method, a proven program specifically designed for students with reading difficulties.
Understanding Dyslexia
What is dyslexia? Dyslexia is a learning difference that affects how the brain processes written language. It's NOT a sign of low intelligence—many brilliant people have dyslexia!
Common Signs:
Difficulty with phonics and sounding out words
Reading slowly despite being smart
-
Trouble with spelling
-
Strong verbal skills but struggles with reading
