Barton reading is designed for one-on-one student-teacher instruction. Focusing on the needs of the child, Barton serves to help students with dyslexia learn to read and write as they learn best.
Research shows children with dyslexia benefit from 1 on 1 teacher-student tutoring using an Orton-Gillingham based program. Twice weekly minimum either in person or remote.

Handwriting Tutoring:
$30 per 30 minute session
$300 for 10 sessions
Save 10% on 2nd or 3rd students
Handwriting Without Tears curriculum offers a multi-sensory approach to teaching letter formation. I offer both print and cursive teaching. For more information read About Handwriting Without Tears”
Currently, I am only offering this service in person. Students can add this to their Barton tutoring session or as a separate session.
The initial assessment for Print instruction is $120 for an in-depth evaluation. No evaluation for cursive.
Sessions will include:
- one-on-one tutoring (1 or 2x a week as needed)
- a workbook for home practice
- CD for repeated practice that helps solidify the steps in letter formation
Note: if adding to Barton tutoring, student will need to add a 3rd day so the student still gets the minimum requirement of 2- 50 minute reading & spelling sessions spread out into three sessions.
