Let's master phonics and begin reading! Tailored for 6-9-year-olds, this class refines phonics skills to boost reading confidence. Let's look at all you will learn in 25 minutes:

This class is taught in English.

Improved Reading Fluency: Enhance the student's ability to read smoothly, accurately, and with appropriate expression, aiming to increase reading speed and comprehension simultaneously.

Enhanced Comprehension Skills: Develop strategies for understanding texts at deeper levels, focusing on summarization, inference, prediction, and the ability to analyze and interpret various literary elements.

Phonics Mastery: Strengthen the grasp of phonics principles, including sound-symbol relationships, decoding unfamiliar words, and applying phonetic rules effectively to improve word recognition and spelling abilities.

I hold a certificate in Phonological Awareness from IMSE, accredited in the Orton-Gillingham approach, emphasizing a strong foundation in language acquisition.
Additionally, I earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Education, enriching my pedagogical expertise.
My teaching journey commenced with a Teacher Certificate in Idaho in 2011, enabling me to passionately instruct Reading and Writing to 7th through 12th-grade students for two years.
Following this, I obtained a TESOL certificate and dedicated five years to empowering English Language Learners through immersive ESL instruction.

I'll provide a personalized review sheet, typically listing any words misspoken during the lesson.

25 minutes per class, and maybe some time outside of class.

Feel free to share any preferences beforehand—whether it's avoiding magic or spooky themes. Some books might feature fight scenes, dinosaurs, or monsters. I'll give you a heads-up a week before introducing a new book, allowing you to review it and ensure it aligns with your child's comfort.
