Orton-Gillingham Influenced

Evidence Based
The Barton Reading and Spelling System is an instructional method that has been backed by studies and has a proven record of success.

What People are Saying about Dyslexia St. Louis
"Dyslexia St.Louis Learning and Advocacy Center has been an invaluable resource for our family. Mary tutors my child using the Barton Reading and Spelling System. He has made incredible progress. Not only has he increased 2 grade levels in reading, but we have seen a surge in confidence and self-esteem. Mary is patient and knowledgeable. We are fortunate to have found her. If your child is struggling to read, I highly recommend you contact Dyslexia St. Louis!"

"Dyslexia St Louis has changed my daughter's life! From the first phone interview, I knew my daughter was going to be in good hands. My eight-year daughter is now excited to go to tutoring for the first time ever. We have been going to Dyslexia St Louis for eight months and in that time, I have not only seen my daughter grow in reading but her personality has grown also."
"Best.Decision.Ever!"

"My daughter started at Dyslexia St. Louis a year ago and went from under grade level to now above grade level. The past year has been amazing to watch her change."
-Kim P.
"My son has been getting tutored at Dyslexia St. Louis for about a year now. The increase we have seen in his self confidence alone has been totally worth it. He has a better understanding of himself and how he learns. His reading has improved SO much and his gained confidence is carrying over into school and daily activities. We’ve also used Sarah, the advocate, to help us get the accommodations our son needs at school. Her guidance through the entire process has been so incredibly helpful. We are so grateful for Dyslexia St. Louis."
-Jennifer P.
"You will never go wrong bringing your child for tutoring at Dyslexia St Louis. The staff is incredible!!!"
-Cheryl J.
The biggest difference I noticed after receiving tutoring from Mary was his increased confidence and willingness to read out loud to us. I would 100% recommend reading instruction through Dyslexia St. Louis. The gains my 2 children have made there are invaluable. They wouldn’t be where they are now without the center.
-Jen
While receiving tutoring services from Kathy, I have noticed my daughter's confidence rising in her reading skills. She adores her tutor and looks forward to seeing her. We find Dyslexia St. Louis invaluable in conquering the learning challenges she faces. So for that alone, I highly recommend their services.
-Kelley K.
" Just sharing the exciting news that B made the Battle of the Books Team at his elementary school! How exciting that he has grown so much in his reading ability since he started working with Adam!! Thank you so much for your dedication and perseverance in helping him learn and love to read!"
Sara B.
Our sons biggest improvement since working with Mrs.Carolyn is his decoding of words. It's exciting to see him use the new tools that he has been taught to break down words. I would encourage anyone to give Dyslexia of St Louis Learning Center a try. The staff is amazing! They really create a family environment and always eager to help with any questions. Everyone works together to provide the best results for your child.
-Deborah B.
"S made an interesting reflection this week during our time together. She said that she noticed that school skipped the little steps in learning to read."
Leslie W.
"I just had some good news to share! Last night, right at bedtime, J picked up one of his favorite books, Donut Feed the Squirrels. He started reading to my husband, and I was so proud I teared up. J has made SO much progress since last year at this time. He is using his strategies from school and tutoring so well. I just had to share this with all of you because you have been such an integral part of J's reading progress. My husband and I truly appreciate everything you have done for J this year! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!"
Lisa D.
Finding Dyslexia St. Louis: Learning and Advocacy Center has been the answers to my prayers. Spending time with Mary learning the Barton System has given my son confidence in himself. So grateful for Mary.
-Staci C.
Dyslexia St. Louis has been life-changing for my son. While receiving reading coaching from Melissa, his reading and spelling have improved at a steady pace. That, of course, was the goal and expected outcome, what I underestimated was the amount of confidence he would gain while working with Melissa. Dyslexia can be so overwhelming and frustrating but Dyslexia St. Louis makes the journey easier, not just for the student but for the parents as well. Mary, Sarah, and the reading coaches are clearly passionate about helping every child become a successful reader. I highly recommend Dyslexia St. Louis to anyone that has a child struggling to learn how to read. Not only will your child get amazing reading instruction, but you will also gain invaluable partners in your dyslexia journey.
