Sherri Habermehl
M.Ed., B.Sc., B.Ed.

Since 2009, the majority of my career 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).

I specialize in tutoring children and adults who struggle with reading and spelling in the following ways:

• They have trouble memorizing spelling words from one week to the next.

• They struggle to spell when writing sentences and paragraphs, even with high-frequency words like because, friend, and does.

• When writing, they frequently forget that a sentence must begin with a capital letter and end with punctuation.

• Although they may be able to read, they typically read slowly and stumble over words.

• When encountering an unfamiliar word, they have extreme difficulty sounding it out, despite having been taught phonics.
