1. Students will learn the proper spellings of first-grade-level words and their usage in the English language. 

2. Special focus on phonemic awareness, homophones, and words that just don't fit the "rules".

3. Students will gain confidence in their spelling, reading, and writing skills.

I am a state certified Elementary Teacher who has become aware of the absence of structured spelling instruction in the schools today. In my private reading tutoring practice, I have watched my students become strong and independent spellers by using my approach. I have taught over a thousand spelling students on Outschool since March 2020 in second through middle school grade levels. 

Homework Offered
Homework is assigned after the first two live meetings to practice the word list. Spelling worksheets will be provided for homework after the live class meets.
0 - 1 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
There is a pre-recorded spelling test available to the student each week. Completing the test is optional but highly encouraged so students can track their progress.

Upon request. Please message me to request grades be kept for your student.

The method of instruction used in this class is Phono-Graphix which is based on the science of reading and is Dyslexia-friendly.
