1-on-1 Reading Tutor

You will choose from a list of topics your child wants to learn or needs specific instruction in. Specific learning targets can include:

Phonemic Awareness and Letter Sounds (phonemic awareness is an auditory skill that works on segmenting and blending sounds in words to get ready for reading and spelling)
Reading and Spelling CVC Words (cat, bed, mug)
Reading and Spelling words with Blends (plan, sled, grant)
Reading and Spelling words with Digraphs (puck, wish, when)
Reading and Spelling words with Silent E (mute, poke, make)
Reading and Spelling words with Vowel Teams (seat, moon, boat)
Reading and Spelling words with Diphthongs (plow, trout, saw)
Reading and Spelling words with R-Controlled Vowels (cart, burn, her)
Reading and Spelling words with Consonant LE (maple, purple, simple)
Reading and Spelling High-Frequency Words (I teach the 107 Zeno High-Frequency words because they comprise 50% of all text)

Before we meet please let me know what skill your child needs to work on so I can prepare the materials beforehand. 

If you aren't sure what skill your child needs to work on, in our first session I will complete an assessment to decide what we need to work on. 

Please message me and let me know if you would like me to assess your child in the first session or to let me know what skill your child needs to work on. 

1-on-1 tutoring allows me to design our time together based on your child's needs. When we tailor your child's education to meet their needs they will find more success. I will use structured literacy and the science of reading to direct my instruction. I will use mnemonic devices to teach spelling patterns, and structured literacy to build upon skills, periodically we will play games to practice and review skills, and will periodically assess them on the skill they are working on to gauge progress and move them onto the next skill if necessary.
