Class Experience
US Grade 2 - 5
These tutoring sessions will be tailored to the child's specific needs. The lessons will be structured, sequential and cumulative. Each class will run in a similar format as to instill confidence and security in the child. I will follow a lesson plan that includes a visual drill, blending drill, and auditory drill. The student will have a student response sheet (SRS) in which they will record their responses for the auditory drill and the remaining parts of the lesson. In each class I will review the skills, rules or patterns from the previous session and I will introduce a new skill. As new material is presented, I will use the "I do, we do, you do" teaching model. As time allows, I will also attempt to incorporate the following actions into our lessons: -The student will read phonetically fair text and fluency strategies will be employed. -I will dictate one to three phrases or sentences for the child to write. We will practice self-editing strategies. -Near the end of each lesson I will teach a new memory word (not phonetically fair, must be learned and memorized). We will practice our new memory word and review our previous memory words. -A one-minute phonemic awareness drill which may include rhyming, onset rime, segmenting, blending, adding, deleting and substituting. The lesson will be multi-sensory, incorporating visual, auditory and kinesthetic experiences simultaneously to ensure the best learning outcome. We will use movement methods such as table writing, arm tapping and sky writing to improve chances of the information going into long-term memory. In each session I will observe any confusion or uncertainties the child is having, make note of them, and be sure to address these in subsequent lessons. Some of the possible lesson topics may include: short and long vowels discrimination between vowel sounds blends digraphs -ng and -nk word families soft c and g Floss Rule short vowel protectors -ck, -tch and -dge syllable patterns: Closed, Open, Magic E, Bossy R, Vowel Teams and Consonant-L-E syllable division rules spelling rules: Doubling Rule, E Drop Rule, Y Change Rule prefixes suffixes base words vs. root words connectives editing strategies fluency strategies
Other Details
Supply List
The student will need either a personal white board or a copy of the Student Response Sheet attached in the classroom. I also suggest that the student have some blank 3x5 notecards to write the new memory word on at the end of each lesson. It is best to use a fat red marker to write these words, so that they may be easily distinguished from the other words in our lesson.
