About Us
Caitlin Herckenrath
B.A. (Hons.), B.Ed, OCT
Sunrise Reading Solutions began as a way to provide struggling readers and their families with a ray of hope. With increasing education cuts along with a lack of emphasis on effective phonics and reading instruction, youth across the province have struggled to read and write into high school and post-secondary. In 2021, this is not acceptable.
As an OCT certified teacher, Caitlin Herckenrath knew from the start that something had to change about the way reading and spelling are approached in the curriculum. With a background in Outdoor and Experiential Education and experience teaching in outdoor schools, she noticed just how many families had become disillusioned with the quality of education their students received in the classroom -- often choosing to homeschool or seek out other educational experiences for their bright children.
In 2018, Caitlin was introduced to the Barton Reading & Spelling system. She experienced first hand how it empowered students and bridged key gaps in their reading and spelling while boosting confidence in school and life. Since then, she has been using the Barton program with Elementary & High School Students to successfully improve student literacy.
Until all dyslexic children have access to multi-sensory, structured, explicit reading instruction in school, Sunrise Reading Solutions will support young readers and their families by offering remediation that empowers them to reach their fullest potential.
