Reading Solutions private dyslexia tutoring in Boulder, CO and is individually customized for each child using the an Orton-Gillingham based method. Orton-Gillingham is a research-based methodology that is the only proven system to be successful for improving the reading, writing, spelling skills of the dyslexic students.

I use the Susan Barton System (Susan Barton took the best of Orton-Gillingham and strengthened it!). This learning system is systematic, multi-sensory with explicit instruction in phonemic and phonological awareness, decoding, reading comprehension and fluency, vocabulary skills, writing exercises, spelling and spelling rules.

Reading Solutions offers 9 Barton Levels of instruction that my students advance at their own pace. However, each student must master each Barton Level before advancing to the next Barton Level. The Orton-Gillingham based Susan Barton System is a highly successful process that is easy to understand and appropriate for grades K-12.

When students are given the right tools and opportunities to build knowledge, they will achieve success. It is a joy to tutor dyslexic children and be able to open doors for my students that once were closed due to their difficulty in reading, writing and spelling. Helping students believe in themselves and their capabilities is my greatest reward!
