Private Dyslexia Tutoring
Welcome to Sunshine Dyslexia Tutoring Services, located in St. Petersburg, FL. We offer private and personalized dyslexia tutoring in reading and spelling. We can help with improving math facts and handwriting skills if your student also presents with dyscalculia and dysgraphia.
Why Choose a Private Tutor for Your Dyslexic Student?
Reading is a skill that must be taught, and for dyslexic students, the most effective way of teaching reading skills is different from the way other students may learn to read.
The Barton Reading and Spelling System is an Orton Gillingham-based program. The system uses proven methods to first teach students how to identify letter sounds, followed by how those sounds relate to each letter in the alphabet. Eventually the student will learn to read with fluency and double check their own spelling when writing, resulting in more confidence and independence overall in the classroom and beyond.
This process takes time, commitment, and a lot of work both from the student and their family. Sunshine Dyslexia Tutoring Services can help your student on this journey, which has the potential to transform their life.

About Me
Carissa Payne, Founder of Sunshine Dyslexia Tutoring Services
I’m a mom of 2 boys and when my oldest was entering 2nd grade, we learned he was dyslexic. Initially, we were not sure where to turn and how to navigate the diagnosis. After some research, we found a local Barton Reading and Spelling tutor who guided him through all 10 levels of the Barton System and we were amazed. He went from a child who didn't want to read at all, to one who started reading chapter books and challenging non-fiction books on his own. This program changed his life. I continue to be so impressed by the impact it had on him that, earlier in 2023, I decided to make a career change to become a Barton Reading and Spelling tutor myself.
