Sherri Habermehl
M.Ed., B.Sc., B.Ed.
The majority of my career (2009-2023) has been in Special Education, teaching learners with a variety of learning and behaviour difficulties. I have a Saskatchewan Professional A Teaching Certificate and am listed in the Public Registry of the Saskatchewan Professional Teachers Regulatory Board.
Tutoring with the Barton Reading & Spelling system, I specialize in structured literacy for students with dyslexia and other reading difficulties.
I have completed the required coursework at the Classroom Educator and Associate levels through Learn Literacy, an approved training agency of the Academy of Orton-Gillingham Practitioners and Educators.
Additionally, I am listed in the International Dyslexia Association's Professional Directory as a structured literacy tutor.
I am an accredited REGISTERED Instructor through the Institute for Excellence in Writing (IEW)'s explicit and structured writing programs.
I specialize in tutoring children and adults who struggle with reading and spelling in the following ways:
trouble memorizing spelling words from one week to the next;
trouble spelling when they have to write sentences and paragraphs, even with high-frequency words like because, friend, and does;
when they write, they can't seem to remember that a sentence has to start with a capital letter and end with punctuation;
although they might be able to read, they usually read slowly and stumble over words a lot; and
when they come to a word they don't recognize, they have extreme difficulty sounding it out despite being taught phonics.
