Dysgraphia Tutoring:

We believe dysgraphia is another symptom of the umbrella of Dyslexia and thus are able to work with it throughout any of the programs offered here at Learning Tools.  During the initial consultation, symptoms of dysgraphia will be assessed, and if needed an additional day will be added onto the main program and instruction will be daily throughout the program week.

  • Non-standard pencil grip
  • Heavy erasing and ripped paper

  • Inconsistent letter size.
  • Inconsistent use of capitalization.
  • Lines of the letters not connecting
