Meet Me

Welcome to Tools for Dyslexia! I’m Laure Schaerr and I specialize in helping students with dyslexia develop literacy skills and confidence. I love learning the stories of our language–why there is  an O in people, an I in friend, a W in two, a W in answer. These words didn’t make sense to me when I was learning to read and spell. Discovering the reasons was exciting to me. Sharing them is my passion.

From Frustrated to Book-Loving Student

Our daughter has been working with Laure for 3 years.  She started a struggling, frustrated reader and is now reading on grade level and enjoys picking up a book to read on her own.  I cannot adequately express the joy it has brought my heart to watch that transformation in our daughter. If your student is struggling with reading, spelling or writing, I would highly recommend Laure.  She has been such a gift to us, our home school and our daughter.     Jennifer A.
