“Successful reading is dependent on a reader’s ability in four areas: automatic letter recognition, accurate phonemic processing, strong vocabulary knowledge, and the ability to construct meaningful messages during reading.” (Tracy & Morrow, 2017).
ABOUT​
Krissy Bennett M.Ed
My name is Krissy Bennett. I am a literacy specialist with a heart for children with dyslexia. My passion began sixteen years ago when my middle son, Jack, was diagnosed with a reading disability and ADHD at the age of six. At that time, it was hard to find reading tutors specializing in the Orton Gillingham method, and I was terrified he would never learn to read. I was able to find a tutor who used the Barton Reading and Spelling Program, which changed the trajectory of his and my life.
I have spent the last twelve years working as the Academic Director at a private school in Oregon. I received my Master of Education with a focus on literacy and my reading endorsement from Western Oregon University. I am a certified Barton Reading and Spelling tutor and a dyslexia screener.
​
I am currently enrolling new tutor students. Tutoring can be conducted in person or online.
