Beginner Level
Learning should be fun and interactive. When working 1-on-1, the needs of each student are what guides our session. We will use games, songs and letter tiles to progress through the Orton-Gillingham approach. Our one hour will include decoding exercises, sight word-work, reading appropriately leveled books, encoding and writing. Most of our time will be review with one skill added, as able.
Learning Goals
Students will master all consonant and vowel names and sounds.Students will understand the technique of blending individual sounds to make words.
