These private lessons will use a structured literacy program based on phonological-coding research and Orton-Gillingham principles to directly and systematically teach the structure of the English language. Each session will be tailored to the individual learner's needs and interests while following a step-by-step process to teach the phonemic sounds, rules, and the six syllable types of the English language in a fun, multisensory manner. The class time will be very interactive and paced differently depending on the enrolled learner. Each session is loosely structured as follows: *Sound drill *Mini-lesson or review of the day's skill *Word work practice of the specific skill *Reading and/or writing practice *Game/ informal assessment/ progress monitoring This type of instruction has been found to aid in decoding and encoding skills for both struggling and emerging readers. These sessions can be a good fit for learners who are just beginning to read and struggling, learners in need of extra spelling help, learners already diagnosed with dyslexia, or those who have a specific reading disability and need some extra practice. *Cover art by Thomas Kolnowski
Learning Goals
The learning goals of these sessions will be individualized for each learner and done through communication with the family and work with the learner.
