Literacy tutor and teacher for Dyslexia and more (reading, spelling, writing, phonics, decoding, encoding, linguistics, foundational skills, phonological awareness, oral language, vocabulary, fluency and comprehension ): darlenedeveau@yahoo.com 

I believe learning to read and write is for everyone. 

I'm a Master's level, certified Florida ESE Teacher with a passion for helping all students learn to read and write. I tutor in my home and online through Zoom or Koala Go. 

I'm trained in and have experience teaching these reputable Structured Literacy Programs:

EBLI (Evidenced Based Literacy Instruction), 

IMSE's Orton-Gillingham (comprehensive and morphology), 

WRS (Wilson Reading System), 

Barton Reading and Spelling and

RSA (Reading Simplified Academy) .

My FL educator's certificate includes the Reading Endorsement and  I've independently completed 

LETRS (Language Essentials for Teachers of Reading and Spelling), to better prepare me for meeting the needs of all learners using research-based practices within any framework. I am utilizing teaching methods that are based on a solid understanding of how English works and decades of scientific research from multiple fields that is continually growing. 

I 'm  a lifelong learner myself, constantly seeking information, reading books and listening to the Reading and Cognitive science experts on podcasts. I'm an active participant in healthy discussions on several teacher groups, while also following many other literacy-related information groups such as the Reading League and the International Dyslexia Association. 

I consult with Parents and coach other teachers to help them support their students learning to read and write when there are learning challenges or differences, Dyslexia or other Language-based disabilities. I  tutor students of any age in reading and writing. I'm a registered provider for the Family Empowerment Plan in Florida, so my families can apply for several different tutoring reimbursement programs. My tutoring is available online or in person for my Charlotte, Sarasota, Lee and Manatee county communities.

Let's work together toward your student's literacy independence.
