Intermediate Level
Each session is a 30 minute group lesson. Topics include compound words, silent letters, prefixes, suffixes; understanding double, treble and quadruple consecutive vowels, etymology, mnemonics and linguistic tools. The last few weeks will focus on essay writing, group journals/short story on feelings, focusing on Othello. Sessions are once a week, learning: reading strategies, poetry, stories using speaking & listening techniques, games, spelling tests, book reviews, discussions, debates and public speaking. At any time you can book your one time only, 50 minute slot on Saturdays, 1:1 READING ABILITY ASSESSMENT as a separate class. The optional Reading Ability Assessment (booked separately), is not only to determine your reading age; but also, the category of reader, as there are 5 categories in reading: DEPENDENT (reader relies on an experienced reader for total help; like stories being read) EMERGENT (reader still relies on experienced reader, starts to hold book upright and turn pages of books 'pretending' to read and starts to 'scribble') INDEPENDENT (reader has sight word recognition, knows alphabet sounds, starts to read books with repeated words, forms coherent sentences) FLUENT (reader reads with confidence, but still needs help with unfamiliar words, uses syllables, cluster consonant digraphs, starts to use dictionary and write own stories) EXPERIENCED (reader can read fluently without help, knows how to work out unfamiliar words using many strategies including phonic knowledge and linguistic tools, uses dictionary & thesaurus, enjoys writing own stories, articles, is a good speaker and is speed reading). Our interest in reading starts for some as young as 3 years old, as DEPENDENT readers; especially if parents are always reading. At this stage we would give our 3-year-old aspirant, lots of puzzles, painting, drawing & colouring, letter art, shopping lists, etc; because the world is surrounded by colour and shapes (the left brain sees the word as a shape and the right brain sees a picture to explain the word/sentence). Let us not forget that reading and writing/composition go hand in hand; so, if you have a child that struggles with composition, they are 9 times out of 10 struggling with reading. Between the ages of 14-15 years old onwards, we should be EXPERIENCED readers; once there isn't a cognitive deficit.
Learning Goals
Cluster digraphs, compound words, linguistic tools, poetry, debates, comprehension and dictation, formal letter writing and public speaking skills.
To present a clear path, to unleashing the hidden Author and having a good grasp of English Language.

Teacher expertise and credentials
