Beginner Level

**It is best if your child has mastery of all letter sounds. I found that mastery of letter names is not necessarily needed... but sounds, yes!

We will be focusing on blending 2 and 3 sounds together. We will play games, practice words, and work through beginner reading strategies. We will find a system that works best for your learner to encourage them and strengthen their reading skills. Because this is one on one tutoring, I can make accommodations and match the pace of your student. 
I love to sing, use rhyme, and kinesthetic activities to help trigger all parts of the brain. This approach will benefit your child as all learning types will receive what they need. They will be reading short sentences and books in no time!

Profile

Teacher expertise and credentials

My name is Teacher Kender! I obtain the following: BA in theatre, early childhood certification, elementary certification grades 1-6, and a master's degree in elementary reading. The most fun I have while teaching is when I can combine the two. I love digging into books and exploring the characters. I always read with crazy expression and sound effects. My read alouds are exciting and fun! I can teach your child to read, and I can teach them how to perform well in an audition. My available classes list will vary because of my love of the theatre and my passion for lower elementary. I was a classroom teacher for six years. All six of those years were spent teaching first grade. I taught ESL online for 5 years, and I have been teaching a variety of classes on Outschool since the summer of 2020. It is my philosophy that more is caught than taught. So, being a good example for your children is key. Surrounding them with others who instill respect, knowledge, and common sense is vital. Finding a teacher who can bring information to them in an exciting and fun way so that it sticks for a lifetime... that is priceless. Let's do this! See you in the classroom.
***NOTE: I will always teach. If the class has one student, I will still teach!***
