Little Learner Tutoring (Bulk Sessions Twice a Week)

Please send Ms. Brooke a message about specific learner needs before requesting a time for this course. Together, we will establish the skills your learner will make goals around; starting with 2-4 goals, but we can add more as needed. Below is an example list of potential goals:
- Uppercase letter recognition
- Lowercase letter recognition
- Letter sound recognition
- Noun sound recognition
- Number recognition 1-30
- Count to 100 by memory
- Count by 10s
- Count by multiples 5s, 2s, etc.
- Addition within 10
- Subtraction within 10
- Identifying 2D shapes
- Identifying 3D shapes
- Color recognition
- Color word recognition
- Sight words
- CVC words
- Writing letters and numbers
- Tell a story from beginning, middle, and end
- Describing feelings
- Describing seasons
- Identifying various types of weather
- Graphing and data tables

Depending on the number of goals chosen at a time, we could work in a variety of schedules. However, the general outline of how the session goes as follows:
- Greetings
- Identify goals to be worked on for the day
- Divide the rest of the time into 5, 10, and/or 15 minute "chunks" to practice skills related to each goal.
- Identify positives and growth towards goals

Learners will be working towards earning ribbons for each of their goals. For larger goals, they will be broken into smaller goals so that learners earn more ribbons which will encourage a positive mindset as we work towards those longer goals. For learners who have a reading goal, we will have ribbons for each book they will read so that they are having an increased sense of mastery and confidence as we work through each book.

My teaching style is one that meets learners where they are and encourages them to continue to grow. I believe all learners deserve to be spoken to as learners, mistakes are proof that you're trying, and that learning should be a fun experience!

Depending on the topic and the learner's learning style (auditory, kinesthetic, visual, or a mix), we may use manipulatives or other physical objects and/or a digital slideshow. It is important that together we determine what approach will work best for each individual learner and then establish the tools to reach them.

**For learners who may need assistance with computers or manipulatives, parental supervision may be needed.
