Class Experience

US Grade Kindergarten - 5

Beginner - Advanced Level

This class is one- on- one class  that will meet twice a week for an hour. I will apply sound/symbol knowledge to spelling and reading comprehension using targeted multisensory activities and direct instruction. I will focus on decoding, encoding, and reading comprehension strategies, using multi-sensory activities and direct instruction to present a systematic approach to phonics. Activities are specifically tailored to K-2nd grade students and provide practice in phonemic awareness, sound/symbol recognition, syllabication, word formation, sentence composition, story reading, and kinesthetic/tactile memory.

Learning Goals

Students will gain confidence as readers while improving basic reading skills, phonetic awareness and sight word recognition while having fun.
