BARRY & THE VALE
The Reading Doctor
Hello, I'm Sally!
I'm proud to lead The Reading Doctor Barry, where I help children become confident, capable readers through tailored 1:1 support.
I’ve worked in Primary Education since 2005 and currently teach across all year groups while running nurture provision. I hold a BA in Primary Education and have additional training in reading, literacy interventions and children’s emotional development. I’ve always had a passion for phonics and supporting children with additional learning needs to thrive.

Why I Became a Reading Doctor
Over the years, I’ve seen how much children can struggle with reading and the huge impact it has on their confidence and learning. I’ve worked hard to create nurturing, engaging learning environments – but I wanted to do more.
When I discovered The Reading Doctor and met founder Deborah Salsbury, I was instantly inspired. Her passion for building confident readers aligned perfectly with my own. I knew I wanted to join this incredible team and use my experience to make a real, lasting difference.
How I work
✅ Personalised, 1:1 literacy sessions based on your child’s unique needs
✅ Sessions available in Barry and the Vale of Glamorgan
✅ Ideal for children with SEND, dyslexia, ADHD or literacy challenges
✅ Warm, structured sessions that build confidence and resilience
Whether your child needs help with phonics, comprehension, spelling or writing, I’m here to support them every step of the way.
