***I'm taking a sabbatical from teaching until the Fall 2024 to recharge and pursue some personal projects. I'm looking forward to returning refreshed and energized.*** The goal of this course is help your student make self-corrections to remove errors in spelling. Here you will see Guided Practice take the forefront of the lesson. A model will always be given. This means that the teacher will display the rule, identify models within the word shown, ask the student to identify the same items, and even become the teacher to explain the rule as evident in the word of their choosing. What this course is not: Teacher will not provide your student with lists of vocabulary words to memorize. This class teaches spelling rules, which upon learning the student is able to apply to reading new and unfamiliar vocabulary and also in removing their own spelling errors. Teacher will not provide "harder" words on request. Teacher is displaying the spelling rule behind why the vowel lives where it lives and does not move around, the effects of consonant blends, and vowel pairings. A Sample Class Structure: Greeting/ Outline topic for the day/ Instruction/ Paired Practice with Me/ Independent Practice/ Review Together and Reteach if Necessary ************************************************** Teacher provides a snapshot picture of the student's performance in class as is needed to display the above information. If the student is unwilling to write, the course will not work at all.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in English from Grand Valley State University
For the past 17 years, I've been immersed in teaching English Language Arts to middle and high schoolers. From diving into English literature and composition with advanced students eyeing top-tier private high schools and Ivy League dreams to working across all grade levels, from 4th to 12th grade, my journey has been diverse.
I've also lent my expertise to tutoring adult college students, spanning a wide spectrum of abilities, from those just starting to navigate English to seventh graders grappling with foundational reading skills.
Throughout this journey, I've pursued my own academic growth, successfully completing courses in my doctoral program, adding depth to my practice and enhancing my ability to support students effectively.
