Dyslexia, a common learning challenge, affects many students, making reading and writing difficult. Tailwind Education offers tailored support to help dyslexic students unlock their full potential. Here’s how:
Personalized Tutoring Programs
Each student receives a customized learning plan. Tutors assess individual strengths and weaknesses to create effective, personalized sessions. This approach ensures that students receive the help they need in the areas where they struggle most.
Barton-Certified Tutors
Tailwind Education employs Barton-certified tutors who specialize in teaching students with dyslexia. The Barton Reading & Spelling System is an Orton-Gillingham influenced program, which is highly effective for dyslexic learners. These trained professionals understand the unique challenges of dyslexia and are equipped with strategies to address them.
In-Person and Online Options
Understanding that each family has different needs, Tailwind Education offers both in-person and online tutoring options. In-person tutoring provides direct, hands-on assistance, while online sessions offer flexibility and convenience, ensuring that support is accessible no matter the circumstances.
Multisensory Learning Techniques
Tailwind Education utilizes multisensory teaching methods, engaging multiple senses to help students learn. This approach is particularly beneficial for dyslexic students as it reinforces learning through visual, auditory, and kinesthetic activities.
Progress Monitoring and Feedback
Regular assessments and progress monitoring are integral parts of the tutoring process. Tutors provide detailed feedback to parents, keeping them informed of their child’s progress and areas needing improvement. This transparency ensures that everyone involved is on the same page and can celebrate successes together.
Supportive Learning Environment
Creating a positive and supportive learning environment is crucial. Tailwind Education fosters a space where students feel safe to make mistakes and learn from them. Encouragement and patience are key components, helping to build confidence and a love for learning.
Resources for Parents
Tailwind Education also offers resources and guidance for parents, empowering them to support their child’s learning journey. Workshops, informational materials, and one-on-one consultations provide parents with the tools they need to be effective advocates and supporters for their children.
