Class Experience
US Grade Pre-Kindergarten - 1
This one-time, one-on-one class will help students who are new to reading and those who need a review to gain long term mastery of various sight words, words from various word families, and/or words with different latter combinations! We will practice fun tips and tricks to help us remember our new words We will practice writing our words, reading our new words in isolation, and within simple sentences. =) Many students may be able to recite a word off a flash card after they have reviewed it a few times, but it is very different when the student is asked to read this same word when in a story or in a sentence written. Students often have a difficult time remembering these words when asked to read them in a sentence or story. In my own classroom, I have seen this with countless students, which is why I always have my students practice reading sight words in sentences. This is the key to not only being able to recognize a word in text, but to be able to read it fluently as well! My goal is for all of my students to successfully read all sight words in any text with confidence and precision. =) As a one-time class, no prior classes are needed. **For students who would like to meet for additional sessions, each session, I will add the next set of words while incorporating the prior words taught. For example, in our first class, I will introduce the words in Set 1 and we will unscramble and build these words, use rainbow writing to spell/recognize our words, and read sentences using our new words. Our second class, I will introduce the words in Set 2 and we will unscramble and build these words, use rainbow writing to spell/recognize our words, and read sentences using our new words from Set 2 and our previous words from Set 1. Each session, I will use all previously reviewed words from all prior sets in our sentences for continued practice. I like to continuously reuse all words because it truly helps students store these words into their long-term memory and it helps them become fluent readers. =)

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi! My name is Nicole Marder. =) I grew up with a passion for teaching. My mom was a Kindergarten teacher for thirty three years and I followed in her footsteps and became a Kindergarten teacher as well! I subbed for grades K-12 for three years while in college and taught for four years before I had my son. I took an extended maternity leave, but I have continued my educational journey and tutored students from Kindergarten through Sixth Grade.
While subbing, teaching in a public school, and tutoring; I found whole body movement, singing, using silly phrases, and drawing were essential to each student's success. There is no identical learner and it is so important to meet each student's learning needs to optimize learning!!
I love having fun and being silly while teaching! Students need to have a class setting where it is fun and where they don't have to worry about getting an answer wrong! I tell my son on a daily basis that mistakes are vital to learning!
It would be a privilege to teach your child and I look forward to meeting your child in my class soon! =)
