Welcome!  I'm so happy you are here!

   
      I am Juliette M. Betancourt and there is only one thing I love more than teaching students to read, and that is empowering educators by providing them with the resources necessary to teach literacy among their students with confidence and in an efficient and effective way.
         As a dyslexia therapist, reading specialist, former administrator, and bilingual teacher, I’ve walked many paths in education—some filled with purpose, others with struggle, but all with a strong conviction to help all students. Like many of you, I’ve carried the weight of finding the right strategies and materials for my students; from advocating for those students who seem to fall behind the cracks due to language, background knowledge, or a disability, and searching for real answers—especially for our special populations, our multilingual learners, and those who learn differently to navigating through assessment and dyslexia identification.
          That’s why this space was created. Not just another platform—but a place for connection, collaboration, and real support. A space where we can share ideas, ask hard questions, and grow together. Here, you’re not alone.

At Dyslexito, we believe that literacy is an inalienable human right.

Our Mission

     Our mission is simple: to empower educators and specialists to break down barriers, ensuring every child—no matter their background—has the opportunity to read and write. We’re here to support you with accessible, research-backed tools, so both teachers and students can thrive together.

 

Hi, I'm Juliette

      Hi, I’m Juliette Betancourt—a bilingual Certified Academic Language Therapist (CALT) and Licensed Dyslexia Therapist (LDT) with over 22 years of experience in public education. But more importantly, I’m someone who truly gets it. As an educator with ADHD, I know firsthand how overwhelming it can feel to juggle everything—lesson plans, diverse learners, limited resources, and the constant pressure to do more with less. That’s why I’ve made it my mission to help educators like you work smarter, not harder, so you can focus on what you love most: teaching.

 

     I’ve spent my career empowering educators to feel confident and equipped to tackle even the toughest literacy challenges. With two Master’s degrees—one in Curriculum & Instruction with a focus on Triple Literacy and another in Dyslexia and Special Education—and as a current Ph.D. student studying Reading Disabilities and Equity, I’m all about blending research with real-world solutions. I love diving into the data and finding practical, creative ways to make it work in your classroom. My background in marketing and media has also taught me to think outside the box, which means I’m always looking for innovative ways to approach challenges and solve problems. In fact, I see problems as opportunities for growth, so I get excited when we need to solve the puzzle!

 

      Living with ADHD has given me a unique perspective and a deep sense of empathy for the challenges educators and students face. I know what it’s like to feel overwhelmed, and I also know how powerful the right tools and strategies can be in turning things around. That’s why I’m here—to make your life easier, reduce your stress, and help you reignite your passion for teaching.
