I've been trained at the Orton-Gillingham Classroom Educator level, and am currently in training at the 1-on-1 Associate level.
Homework Offered
After each recorded lesson, students will record themselves finger spelling as they read and write 5 CVC words. This should take 5-10 minutes each time after the video time. I will respond to each video with praise and specific feedback! Students will also do a scavenger hunt to choose objects from their homes and practice finger spelling those sounds. Each week, they will search for 3 items that have the focus letter sound of the week in it.0 - 1 hours per week outside of class
