Ms. Caroline Sommer

     Hello! My name is Caroline Sommer!  My goal as a teacher is to help my students be successful 21st-century learners. I enjoy teaching my students all areas of the curriculum, but am most passionate about helping them tap into their own love of learning.  Teaching struggling readers and students with dyslexia is one of my passions!

     I am very excited to serve as Barrington Place Elementary's Dyslexia Teacher this year! I have been teaching in Texas since 2011 and joined Fort Bend ISD during the 2013-2014 school year.  During the 2017-2018 school year, I was awarded Teacher of the Year at a local Fort Bend ISD elementary school.  My teaching experience includes teaching general education, special education, and dyslexia intervention! I am excited to serve the diverse community of Barrington Place Elementary and to support the academic and emotional growth of all of my students.

     If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.

  • FORT BEND ISD DYSLEXIA SERVICES

    • Fort Bend ISD believes that all children can learn. We are committed to providing dyslexia services across all FBISD campuses, with our educators trained in the Orton-Gillingham program. We understand that individuals with dyslexia can achieve success in reading and writing when given the appropriate support and instruction.

      It's important to note that not all reading difficulties are necessarily dyslexia. Therefore, FBISD follows a specific procedure to accurately identify and offer the right instruction for students who struggle with reading:

      This process ensures that students with reading difficulties receive the appropriate evaluation and support tailored to their specific needs, helping them achieve success in their academic journey.

      FBISD is currently working to coordinate dyslexia efforts in line with the requirements of HB 3928.

      • Evaluate students with dyslexia through the Special Education framework to ensure comprehensive assessment.
      • Identify dyslexia as a Specific Learning disability that requires Specially Designed Instruction, acknowledging the individual needs of students with dyslexia.
      • Deliver Specially Designed Instruction through certified Special Education teachers, ensuring specialized support.
      • Provide ongoing training for evaluation staff to enhance their knowledge and proficiency in identifying and addressing dyslexia, promoting effective implementation of Texas House Bill 3928.
