Dyslexia Tutor Sonoma County

If your child has dyslexia (or you suspect they do), standard reading instruction doesn’t work - their brain processes language differently. Dyslexia Tutor Sonoma County uses the Barton System, which is specifically designed for how dyslexic brains learn.

The Barton Reading and Spelling System

Barton is based on Orton-Gillingham methodology - the gold standard for dyslexia intervention. It works because:

• Multi-sensory: See it, hear it, say it, write it - all at once
• Structured: Systematic, step-by-step progression
• Sequential: Each skill builds on the last
• Explicit: Nothing is assumed; everything is directly taught

Why Regular Tutoring Doesn’t Work

Generic reading tutoring repeats the same approaches that haven’t worked. Kids with dyslexia need specialized instruction that works with their brain, not against it.

Signs Your Child May Need This

• Struggles with reading despite being bright
• Good at understanding stories read aloud but not reading them
• Guesses at words instead of sounding them out
• Reverses letters (b/d, p/q) past early elementary
• Family history of reading difficulties
