O R T O N - G I L L I N G H A M R E A D I N G A S S E S S M E N T This class is to assess your student before enrolling in my Orton Gillingham intervention classes. This session allows me ample time to work with your student to determine their current decoding, reading, and spelling abilities, the results of which, allow me to create a more customized learning plan. We will review / assess their knowledge of the following: - the alphabet - basic phonemes - beginner blends - final blends - digraphs - trigraphs - spelling patterns - syllable breaks - segmentation - blending Your student will be asked to write, so please have them sit down with pencil and paper, and one or two highlighters. The session is 55 minutes, but please allow some cushion time, as some children work through the various diagnostic tools more slowly.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I have been teaching and tutoring students for over 20 years, as a middle school and high school teacher, a college adjunct, and children's museum educator.
I am passionate about bringing meaningful content to students. As an educator, I am constantly seeking new ways to incorporate best practices and draw from a wide body of pedagogy, including the self-guided approach of Maria Montessori, the artistic lessons and story-based approach of holistic models, the multiple intelligence theory of Howard Gardner, the high-quality literature of Charlotte Mason, and the community of learners approach of Reggio Emilia.
My undergraduate studies led me to a dual degree in Spanish and Economics, where I focused on developing economies in Latin America, studying in Costa Rica and Ecuador. I later received a Fulbright scholarship and spent a year studying at the University of Stuttgart, and completing an internship in Bonn, focused on Spanish and Latin American markets. After returning to the US, I worked as a college assistant, middle school and high school teacher, and museum educator.
My graduate work focused on Social Studies, with my Master's Thesis centering on bringing the arts into core academics, drawing from my experiences with holistic models of education.
I am a homeschool mom to three, with one already graduated. My oldest, began her schooling journey at home, using a holistic approach to education, with an abundance of art, nature, and literature, centering largely around the principles of Charlotte Mason and other early 20th century educational reformers. She graduated with full scholarships to top tier universities. My second child began his journey with public school before transitioning to Montessori, and finally, to homeschooling. As an asynchronous learner, homeschooling is a perfect fit for him. My youngest has also attended both Montessori and public school, and is now homeschooling as well. Whenever possible, we use place based education with the motto, "the world is our classroom."
Fun fact - I am a polyglot and have had a keen interest in learning languages from a young age.Reviews
