Skyword Tutoring for Dyslexia
Having a formal diagnosis of dyslexia is helpful, but not necessary for our working together.
I offer a structured literacy intervention program using
The Barton Reading and Spelling System.
We meet twice-per-week (minimum). Each 50-minute session follows a research-based, structured literacy sequence: review, explicit instruction, guided practice, and mastery checks. Progress is tracked and shared regularly so families can clearly see skill development over time.
If your child attends a public/private school, I can meet with them before or afterschool, as well as directly from the school remotely if permissible. I can accommodate homeschool families having daytime hours as well. I do not offer in-home tutoring at this time.
Early-bird tutoring for "rise-and-shine" students starting at 7am - remote only.
Pacific Standard Time
Remote Sessions are convenient for busy families.
My online tutoring platform is fully interactive allowing me to provide a completely effective program experience for your child.
In-Person Sessions are held at my studio in SE Portland, Oregon.
A Hybrid Tutoring Schedule is possible, providing the convenience of remote sessions to balance the added effort of commuting that is essential for in-person.
I utilize the Tutor Bird platform to communicate regularly with my families.
What is Tutor Bird, you ask? The Tutor Bird platform serves as a communication hub that allows us to connect on a regular basis.
Through your own private portal, you will receive updates on progress, allows you to track attendance, offers a central location for file sharing, and streamlines invoicing and payments...plus much more.
The NeuroLearning Assessment
I am proud to offer the NeuroLearning Assessment here at SkyWord!
Created by Brock and Fernette Eide, both pioneers in the world of dyslexia research, it provides a comprehensive and thorough report that is personal to your child.
It not only gives the probability risk for dyslexia, but it reports on other broad components such as working memory, processing speed and rapid automatized naming.
In approximately one-hour I can administer the assessment and can have a report in your hands within just a few days! If having a formal diagnosis is out of reach cost-wise or time-wise, this report is one of the best!
