Struggling readers get frustrated, angry, and eventually start to feel stupid.

One of the reasons for their struggle might be dyslexia. 1 out of 5 people are suspected of having some degree of dyslexia. It can run in families and even skip generations. The good news is there's hope and help.
I'm Jeff Boggs and over the past five years I've personally tutored 30 students who've become confident readers using the Barton Reading & Spelling System - it works! I'm located in Middle TN and offer remote tutoring in the convenience of your own home.

Step 2. What's next?
If you feel your struggling reader has many of the indicators of dyslexia, then call me at 931-446-1910 to discuss screening options. Different options exist for students in the public school system, private schools, home schools, or parents just wanting a basic assessment.
Step 3. Remediation (tutoring)
|
Dyslexia requires specific remediation. Standard phonics programs and many kids reading programs generally don't work. Systematic tutoring programs should be influenced by the pioneering work of Dr's Orton and Gillingham. There are several good Orton-Gillingham influenced systems to choose from. My certification and experience is with the internationally recognized Orton-Gillingham based Barton Reading & Spelling System.
