If its not available, the learner can use a sand tray to write the letters. Otherwise, contact me so I can provide you a link to this materials. • Equipment: Most of the time, the learner will need to tilt the camera for me to see their work and so I can give feedback specifically with math and language sessions. • Feedback: I observe my learners most of the time and I am happy to guide them to some areas they need practice and improvement ex. proper use of scissors and holding a pencil. • Please contact me ASAP if your looking for a different time frame/schedule.
