Welcome! I teach students who have been identified with dyslexic tendencies. VISD currently uses the MTA Reading and Spelling Program (Multisensory Teaching Approach)for dyslexia instruction. The program focuses on phonics, spelling, and handwriting.

My schedule varies each semester. Due to traveling from campus to campus each day, the easiest way to reach me is to leave a message at my "home" campus, Vernon Middle School, and I will call you back as soon as possible. 940 552-6231

After being identified as having dyslexic tendencies, your child will begin the MTA Program. This is a regular education pull-out program that consists of mastering information contained in seven kits. 90% mastery is required. Duration in the program is dependent upon severity of the disability,age, number of students in the group, motivation, and innate potential.

State law provides for accommodations for mandatory state testing. The Dyslexia Bundled Accommodations for the reading test consists of the test being administered over a two day period, proper nouns being read to the student, and questions and answers being read. Also, your child may be given oral tests in math, science, and social studies.
