Psalm 139: 13-14
For you formed my inward parts;
you knitted me together in my mother’s womb.
I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.

Welcome to The Learning Center!
My name is Krista Bartlett and I joined the staff at Immanuel in 2014. I was truly led by God to this position and am excited and blessed to work with amazing staff and students.
Prior to coming to Immanuel, I was the Education Director and a tutor at The Learning Disabilities Clinic in Oak Park, MI. I was a part of the team there for ten years.
My education includes a Bachelor degree from Western MIchigan University, and a Master of Arts in Teaching degree from Wayne State University.
My wonderful family includes my husband Gary, and my two daughters Paige and Reese. Paige attends school at Lutheran High North and Reese attends school here at Immanuel.
I believe every child of God can learn. It is my passion as a teacher to find what works for every individual child in order to help them succeed in all aspects of life and education.
Reading Intervention Program (K-4)
The intervention takes place during school on days and times that will not interfere with instruction. The goal of this intervention is to have children make adequate progress after the intervention has been implemented for an appropriate period of time. The specific skills being worked on will include phonics, decoding strategies, fluency, and sight words.
The Reading Intervention Program is under the direction of our Learning Center director, Mrs. Bartlett, and classroom teachers.
