Ongoing Private Reading and Writing Booster Classes for Age 5-10 Year Olds.

Please note that I am English, so the spelling I use with be British English spellings. This is fine for those just starting to read!

I taught my autistic son to read using a broadly Montessori approach. I worked in a school for children with Special Educational Needs for 6 years and many of the children in my class learned to read. I still remember their joy when they mastered this skill!

Your learner and I will work together to improve their reading and/or writing/recording. 

I will start with an informal assessment of the learner's level.

Reading: I will work on phonics and blending with learners. Learners will 'sound out' letters and direct me how to spell words, then progress to writing the letters/words.
I will also teach High Frequency Words using words that are most common in English.
I use resources and games that I have discovered or developed myself when teaching students who are struggling to read. 
I have written some stories to suit past learners interests and levels and can adjust them to suit your learner’s interests and needs. 

Writing/Recording: I have worked with a number of learners who struggle to generate ideas for writing or who have wonderful ideas, but struggle to record these ideas efficiently. I have developed strategies to encourage students to generate ideas and to record their work.
