This is a small group educational setting.  Students get individual help. Students will learn vocabulary words vital to increased growth in their word base. The goal is to internalize these words.  Students will be made more aware of the words in their world and be able to add them to their normal spoken and written vocabulary.  
Reading comprehension naturally increases because of added knowledge of new words.
My other important goal is to get the student excited about reading and learning new words!

This fall marks my 50th year to teach, as I started teaching in 1972.  Of all of the things I have ever taught, I love teaching vocabulary the most because of its value to the learner.  Why should a parent chose me as a teacher?  Check my reviews and you will see that parents appreciate my warm relationships to their children.  I believe I inspire learning and my classes are fun! 
As a retired teacher of 33 years, I have taught this same Wordly Wise curriculum in a public classroom for many years.  I feel excited and comfortable to be sharing this knowledge with students.  I truly feel if the student is interested, and will complete the work, this class will make a huge difference in the life of the student!  It just may be a game changer!
