The research is clear: dyslexic and struggling readers require sequential, evidence-based, multi-sensory approaches to reading and writing, and this takes consistency to teach and practise. As Susan Barton (founder of the Barton Reading & Spelling system) says “Once a week is not enough. Do not start the Barton System if you can only tutor once a week. That is not frequent or intense enough for it ‘to stick.’” As a tutoring company that uses the Barton system, we follow all Barton guidelines to facilitate success for our clients. This means that we require your child to take part in the program for a minimum of 2 hours per week (8 per month). This comprehensive program is intense as it serves to address gaps in reading and spelling. If for any reason you need to withdraw your child, cancellations are allowed with 30 days notice. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f2242e0bf03965f3ecc264b/1600640496417-OG0OZ1793KS4P8YWJURK/home-office-5190614_1920.jpg Policies - Tuition Model Life is busy, and we know that tutoring isn’t the only thing on your family’s plate! To better serve our busy urban kids and parents, we have established a tuition model that factors in sick days and holidays which help to lower monthly costs and provide a reliable schedule for your child. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f2242e0bf03965f3ecc264b/1597630410483-5EJ3FX9QLCO8X5BAVN0O/image-asset.jpeg Policies - COVID-19 PROTOCOLS For the safety of us all, we have introduced a set of COVID-19 protocols during tutoring times. Please note that these only apply for in-person sessions. Self-Assessments: Students and Tutors will be required to fill out a Covid-19 self-assessment screening prior to each session. Educator PPE: Due to the nature of reading and spelling remediation, masks can negatively impact the way we hear sound. Therefore, students are not required to wear a face mask. Educators will wear a complete face shield when tutoring to prevent the spread and contraction of the virus while ensuring students can hear and see us. While we recommend the same for students, a face shield is not required. Material Cleansing: All materials are thoroughly cleansed before and after sessions with each student. Students are always provided their own bin and writing utensils. Plexiglass Barrier: Based on the evolving situation, tutors may opt to use a plexiglass barrier when tutoring to reduce the spread. This is portable and will fit on a standard table or desk while allowing us to work seamlessly with your child. https://www.sunrisereadingsolutions.ca/home daily 1.0 2025-09-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f2242e0bf03965f3ecc264b/1597078479142-MDODTYYHC0SAC2PTI362/surprise+boy+holding+a+book Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f2242e0bf03965f3ecc264b/1599571614229-7CQ1WOKDEGSIXUX4GF5Q/Transparent_Barton.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f2242e0bf03965f3ecc264b/1597718556486-5UPMKP5ES75KS0O4X9XI/frustrated+girl+biting+a+pencil Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f2242e0bf03965f3ecc264b/1597009644051-CTJ2KFFK3XZVAD8MR86H/boy+copying+from+a+book Home - Teaching with Compassion While reading and spelling may feel like a challenging part of your child’s learning journey, it IS possible to see success and to watch your child reach and exceed grade-level expectations!

With increasing education cuts along with a lack of emphasis on effective phonics and reading instruction, youth across the province have struggled to read and write into high school and post-secondary. With the knowledge and research we have in the today, this is not acceptable. As an OCT certified teacher, Caitlin Herckenrath knew from the start that something had to change about the way reading and spelling are approached in the curriculum. With a background in Outdoor and Experiential Education and experience teaching in outdoor schools, she noticed just how many families had become disillusioned with the quality of education their students received in the classroom -- often choosing to homeschool or seek out other educational experiences for their bright children. In 2018, Caitlin was introduced to the Barton Reading & Spelling system. She experienced first hand how it empowered students and bridged key gaps in their reading and spelling while boosting confidence in school and life. Since then, she has been through extensive training and certification with Orton-Gillingham Canada in order to help Elementary & High School Students successfully improve their literacy. Until all dyslexic children have access to multi-sensory, structured, explicit reading instruction in school, Sunrise Reading Solutions will support young readers and their families by offering remediation that empowers them to reach their fullest potential.

Sunrise Reading Solutions utilizes a tailored Orton-Gillingham approach as well as the option to complete the Barton Reading & Spelling program, Foundations in Sound, and/or UFLI. We regularly supplement with drills and other Orton-Gillingham approaches that suit the specific needs of your child. If your child opts for virtual learning, all of our programs are fully integrated into an immersive online format so as to remain equally effective. As Covid-19 is still present in our communities, we are happy to provide both in-person and online tutoring to families. Whether you choose an online model or wish to tutor in-person, we provide the same standard of excellence across all services we provide. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f2242e0bf03965f3ecc264b/1597629403269-415VZSV6YMS5BQ901W92/image-asset.jpeg Services - Reading difficulties are preventable, but early intervention is critical. As identified in Matthew’s Law, accessing proven methods of remediation is critical for closing literacy gaps more efficiently. Simply “waiting it out” or “seeing how they do” can lengthen the time it takes to help students in later years. Sign up for a free consultation to learn how we can get your child on the right track! Whether your child is in Kindergarten or High School or you yourself are looking for the literacy education you desire but didn’t receive growing up, it is NEVER too late to get help with reading and writing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f2242e0bf03965f3ecc264b/1599148913317-63HS7LNGV10XQV2TLNNL/SRS+Barton+Collage+%282%29.png Services - Getting Started Before we begin our sessions, a free consultation call is scheduled with the parent(s)/guardian(s) over phone or video to learn more about your child and discuss our policies. If it is a good match, we begin our first session by administering three assessments: a brief reading & spelling assessment, a phonological awareness assessment, and a short Barton Assessment to evaluate whether they need targeted auditory memory, auditory discrimination, and/or auditory sequencing intervention. If a student does not pass the Barton Assessment, we will facilitate the growth of their auditory foundations through the Foundations in Sound program before proceeding to text-based reading and spelling programming. As a client of SRS, your child will receive: 1:1 instruction with an Ontario Certified Teacher Integrated exercises that promote working memory, executive functioning, and phonemic awareness, as needed Two progress reports per year outlining the child’s achievement and ongoing areas of focus Annual Word Identification and Spelling Test (WIST) testing and reporting, including graphed progress and personalized commentary for home and school reference (Value: $750.00) IEP support in the form of a letter to the school about what accommodations would be helpful for the student, if desired Parent support & resources Optional: Virtual practice supports and take-home , as requested As long-term tutors, we value the connections we build with our families and work to ensure that everyone plays a positive role in their child’s progress. *The WIST is not a diagnostic tool, nor are we qualified to diagnose learning disabilities.
