Reading Success Plus

WHO WE ARE

My name is Anne Kloth, and my son Lawrence (L.G.) is dyslexic. We knew at a young age that Lawrence was very bright, but we couldn’t understand why he struggled so much in school. We travelled far and wide, until the mystery was solved. At 10 years old, we met Jeffrey Freed, educator, speaker and author of Right Brained Children in a Left Brained World. He insisted we have Lawrence tested for dyslexia, and referred us to the Gifted Development Center in Denver, Colorado who determined that not only was Lawrence severely dyslexic, he was also impacted by dyscalculia (math). Later, we discovered dysgraphia was the cause of his struggle with writing, and ADD was the cause of everything else! We thought his problems would end with this diagnosis, but little did we know that finding the right kind of tutoring would prove to be almost as big of a challenge as receiving an accurate diagnosis. After using many programs which did not work, including Dore (which didn’t “cure” dyslexia, but helped in many other ways), Davis Dyslexia Correction Program, Vision Therapy, Hooked on Phonics and various other reading programs (for which I have apologized to my son repeatedly over the years), we finally learned about the Barton Reading & Spelling System.
We are pleased to report that Lawrence is now a graduate of Hope College, and with the Barton Reading & Spelling System, we’ve found our life’s calling.
We’ve been there, and tried everything. We know there is hope for people struggling with dyslexia, because these programs work! Research has proven which methods work best to teach dyslexic students to read and spell and we are using these proven methods to help students reach their highest potential.


HOW WE HELP

Our team of dyslexia specialists teach dyslexic students and struggling readers, of any age, utilizing the widely-acclaimed Barton Reading & Spelling System “an Orton-Gillingham influenced, multi-sensory, explicit and systematic phonics program”. But some students aren’t “reading-ready”, and for those students, we start with the Lindamood-Bell LiPS, a program for reading, spelling and speech.
Our intensive one-on-one tutoring programs will provide your student with the tools necessary to become a successful reader!
