About Me
Hi Families,
My name is Corrine Norton. I have been a certified teacher since 2001. A few years ago, I became certified in Structured Multisensory Literacy. But what is that exactly? Essentially, I help children learn to read by teaching skills in a sequential way so that reading and spelling make sense! I also help your child with writing, improving fluency and sight word recognition. All of these skills combine to help your child become a capable reader and speller.
Kindness is king in my sessions! I provide a friendly approach, while ensuring your child is attaining measurable and consistent growth. Your child’s happiness and academic success are my top priorities. Children thrive when they feel safe, appreciated, and valued.
My guiding philosophy is that no two children learn in exactly the same way. I will continually monitor and adjust my strategies to make sure your child is learning in the way that generates the best result. I work to form a positive reciprocal relationship with each child and parent, so that every child thrives and shows measurable growth.
I currently tutor children in Reading (Grades K-8) and Math (Grades K-5). I work with students who have dyslexia (or suspected dyslexia), attention challenges, Autism Spectrum Disorder, and speech and language challenges.
I also provide tutoring for gifted and talented students who need more challenging material than their school can offer in reading, math or any content area of interest.

Sincerely,
Corrine Norton, M.Ed, C-SLDS
Certification
"CERI recognizes IDA Accredited Programs, which have undergone a rigorous vetting process designed to ensure that program graduates have mastered core KPS-aligned knowledge and practice competencies associated with preventing reading failure and remediating off track readers- including readers at-risk for, and identified with, Dyslexia."
The Approach
What is Orton-Gillingham?
Orton–Gillingham (aka OG) is a teaching approach that was designed to help struggling readers. It explicitly teaches the connections between letters and sounds. As a student progresses, we work on word prefixes and suffixes, spelling strategies, and grammar and writing.
As a tutor, I will assess your student to see where he or she is performing, so that I can identify the best place to begin instruction. Clients tend to notice growth within a few weeks of beginning instruction.
