Homework
1-2 hours per week. There is no required or graded homework. However, extra practice is recommended. At the end of the session, I will share the session’s reading passage using google slides or pdfs. This can be used as homework. Please have your child reread the passage three times a day at least three days a week.Assessment
Assessments aren't required but are recommended in order to keep your child moving forward in her/his reading journey. Assessments help me see a child's strengths and areas for growth. If needed, I will give a short reading assessment during the first session to get baseline information. This helps us work together to form individualized goals for your child. As needed, I will give quick informal assessments to make sure your child is progressing towards his or her goals.Letter Grade

This one-on-one class is for older students that are in 3rd grade, 4th grade, or 5th grade and need intensive intervention and are reading at or below a 3rd grade level. This class is also for younger students in Kindergartener, 1st, or 2nd grade and are ready to begin their reading journey or get ahead in reading. I also help support homeschool students and I am available to give consultations, curriculum guidance and/or assessments. The lessons are geared to your child’s learning needs and use Orton Gillingham methods and teach phonics sequentially. Your child’s outline of the class will vary depending on your child’s needs. Here is a sample outline of a lesson: Sounds visual Sounds auditory Blending Phonemic awareness Sight/Red words New or review skill New words to read Reading Spelling basics and/or writing dictation These are a sampling of topics I teach for this class: Letters: names, sounds and handwriting Syllables Alliteration Rhyming Blending Segmenting Phonics Reading Sight Words Fluency Basic Comprehension My teaching style is explicit and direct instruction. This means I will introduce the activity and model it before having the learner perform the activity and all throughout the activity as needed. The class is structured for active participation through, slides, pictures and short decodable phrases, sentences, and passages.

Learning Needs
I have worked with students with: ADHD, Dyslexia, ASD, DLD, 504's, & IEPS. I support these learners by having a variety of short interactive multi-sensory activities, 30-minute sessions, and breaking concepts into smaller chunks.
Supply List
A headset with microphone or a standalone microphone is highly recommended to help me help your child clearly pronounce the sounds that letter makes. When saying sounds in isolation many built in microphones aren't sensitive enough to pick up single sounds. For students that are Kindergarten to 1st grade: 9x12 Dry Erase White Board Black Dry Erase Marker Eraser, Sock or Felt to use as Eraser Older students may use the above or Zoom's annotation tool.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
