I should have written this review years ago because Patty Barna is an extraordinary tutor and the Reading Remedy programming WORKS!
My granddaughter was tutored by Ms. Patty beginning in Kindergarten because she struggled with making sense of letter sounds. She also had a harder time learning while sitting, so Ms. Patty created learning through movement "games" that engaged my granddaughter's learning style. Patty Barna challenged her in the warmest, most encouraging ways, making every challenge fun - and most importantly- successful.
So successful that my granddaughter now, four years later, reads at the middle school/high school level and challenges herself constantly. I highly recommend Reading Remedy with Patty Barna. We're planning to use Ms. Patty again as a writing tutor. She has the gift of bringing out the best in the students she works with. Her decades of experience with students of varied abilities and learning styles coupled with her intuitive coaching and a great program are unbeatable.
You'll be very happy with Reading Remedy and your kiddo will be happy and more confident as a student..
P.S. Both my granddaughters ask to visit Ms. Patty all the time. read more
