Homework
I am happy to suggest additional practice assignments as well as teach you how to do some of that practice with your child so that they continue to improve even when not in a session with me.
Assessment
Ongoing assessment will be provided every session for decoding tutoring (or every other session depending on skills/age/context). Assessment is a key part of tracking improvement in decoding skills.

Class Experience

US Grade Kindergarten - 4
Please keep in mind that I am in EST when requesting tutoring slots. Contact me to find out my current availability as the class calendar may not be fully reflective. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions at all! 

I have some sliding scale slots available every week - it is my mission to ensure as many students as possible get the services they need. Please contact me if you are interested to see if any of those are open.

I am an experienced and certified Special Education Teacher, Orton-Gillingham Tutor, Director of Special Education at my school, and a certified Literacy Specialist. 

I look forward to working with your child to help them make significant progress with any reading or writing challenges. I am trained in the Orton-Gillingham methodology, which is the recommended method for teaching students with Dyslexia to read and write. 

I also have experience using the Wilson program as well as putting together my own, more specialized, and individualized programming for students struggling with decoding. 

Motivation is often a point of conflict with students with decoding and comprehension issues, making reading seem very challenging and unrewarding. I pride myself on learning about what makes each student 'tick' and honing my work with them in those areas. Additionally, I make it possible for students to see their progress, which creates motivation and the desire to keep working. 

Note: 
Please be aware that unless you have a current assessment of your child's decoding and writing (whichever area(s) are required) the first session you book MUST be my assessment session (which is 45 minutes) - please contact me to set this up. Without specific data as to what a student is struggling with, I would be poking around in the dark and wasting your money. Any tutor you work with should always request the same, otherwise, they are just guessing at what your child needs. If you have any questions about this, please message me - I am happy to explain what assessment strategies I employ and how I make the best use of them later on. 

Specifics of what sessions will look like for your child depend on their individual needs. Here is a general idea of the types of activities and the order in which they would typically happen (Note: not all the activities would be completed in each session). 
- Fast phonics review (of letter sounds or letter combination sounds appropriate to your child's level)
- Review of previously learned content (for example reading CVC words or practicing breaking up multisyllabic words into syllables)
- Introduction to a new phonics rule (for example ch says /ch/ or a closed syllable has one vowel sound and a consonant at the end,  making the vowel say its short sound)
- Practice the newly introduced concept through various applications building from easiest to more challenging so your child always feels successful
- Reading of connected text by reading sentences and longer passages made of controlled text (containing only words they have learned how to decode in addition to the sight words they have also learned)

Additional components could include games, learning and practicing spelling patterns, and comprehension activities.
