•Reading, spelling, and writing instruction for people with dyslexia and other learning disabilities, English Language Learners. 

Each class will begin with oral/auditory warm-ups with a focus on listening identifying phonemes and sounds, for sounds in words, identifying sound/phoneme placement, and similarities and differences between words. 

Each class will be a cumulative review of past spelling and language rules and phonemes from previous classes, in addition to new material. 

Learners will practice reading and spelling words from previous weeks. They will read passages with review and new patterns, and answer related questions . Sentences with review and new patterns will be dictated to learners for spelling and sentence writing practice.  
New material will be presented during each class.

*Learners should be able to identify letters of the alphabet and their sounds. 
*Learners should be able to decode and encode CVC, CCVC, CVCC words. 

Each week, we review the previous two weeks and the content is cumulative so students beginning late or who miss classes will be able to catch up and can also request the recordings. Homework is also available upon request.
