KB B.

76 Phonics lessons

My 15 year old son has been doing online tutoring with Sheryl since Nov. 2015. We are working on phonics using the Barton reading program. He has ADHD and was recently diagnosed with dyslexia. His physician recommended he have phonics training. I was not able to find anyone locally with training in the Barton program so decided to give online tutoring a try. This has worked surprisingly well.
