The Orton-Gillingham Approach is a direct, explicit, multisensory, structured, sequential, diagnostic, and prescriptive way to teach literacy when reading, writing, and spelling does not come easily to individuals, such as those with dyslexia. It is most properly understood and practiced as an approach, not a method, program, or system. We will cover topics such as: syllable types, suffixes, prefixes, blending, roots, welded sounds, spelling rules and more! What is covered depends on student needs. The class will begin with an assessment to determine the student's needs and class will be individualized from there. Class is structured as follows: -Sound Drills -Phonemic Awareness -Review - New Concept -Spelling using Tiles - Dictation -Reading Fluency My teaching style is based on fostering a relationship with the student first and working from the student's strengths. This is a one to one class so there will be no interaction with other students. Students do not have to have any previous knowledge and beginner readers are welcome.

Hello Everyone!
I am a Special Education teacher who prides herself on making learning fun. I have 10+ years experience teaching elementary and middle school, specifically working with struggling learners. I am certified in Orton Gillingham Reading and have been trained in Wilson Reading and Lindamood Bell, as well as various math intervention programs. I believe it is extremely important to get to know your students and differentiate learning accordingly. Not all students learn the same way and if they are not understanding something, it is my job to try and teach it in a way they will understand! I like to have fun while learning and encourage students to do their best.
To tell you a little more about me, I am a crazy dog lady , with 2 dogs and 3 cats. I love being outdoors, traveling, and problem solving. I do some dog training in my spare time. So basically I love teaching, whether dogs or children. :) Teaching new skills is just my thing!
