Trisha's #TuesdayTip

It's time for a #TuesdayTip!

Research consistently shows that children with dyslexia learn best when multiple senses are engaged at once.  Instead of just looking at letters on a page, your child sees, hears, says, and touches them simultaneously.

Here are a couple examples of "multi-sensory activities" you can do at home:

• Sand or salt tray writing: Spread a thin layer of sand or salt in a baking tray. Have your child trace letters with their finger while saying the letter sounds out loud.

• Modeling clay letters: Shape letters out of clay or playdough while practicing their sounds.

These activities don’t require expensive tools. They simply require engaging your child’s whole body in the learning process.

Can Playing Specialized Games Help with Reading Disabilities?

What makes "Ladder to Success Tutoring" different?

I will develop an individualized plan for your child to meet their unique "reading education needs" that builds off of their strengths.  We will develop a "ladder to success" to get your child to the next level after assessing where any gaps are. 

Lessons will be engaging by being held in a super fun "Gameworld" where there are activities that meet their learning needs. There will be constant progress monitoring, and daily communication with the parents on how their child is progressing.  

I know how frustrating Dyslexia and other reading disabilities can be for the entire family, and I truly believe that each child who crosses my path does so for a reason.  I know your child can be successful, and I know that I have the tools and knowledge to help them.

About Trisha

Hello!  My name is Trisha Barnett, and I am so excited to work with your child at "Ladder to Success Tutoring!"

I have a B.A. in Elementary Education from the University of Northern Iowa with endorsements in reading and language arts. I have training in the Orton Gillingham approach to Dyslexia, and I have spent the last 1.5 years tutoring students who have Dyslexia online in a super fun "Gameworld" using both Orton Gillingham and the University of Florida Literacy Institute to ensure student success.

In addition to working with students through my online platform, I also have taught a couple homeschool classes online and tutored students in reading for the last 8 years online.

 

Before my experience tutoring students online, I was a K-8 Reading Specialist at the Dunkerton Community School District in Dunkerton, Iowa and also taught fourth grade there. I also taught second grade in the Johnston Community School District in Johnston, Iowa.

I can't wait to help your child climb the "ladder to success!"
