To ensure effective tutoring, the teacher suggests meeting 2x per week. Book additional recurring meetings after the initial purchase.- Depending on the beginning level of the student and the amount of time spent practicing skills and reading independently, you can expect them to: - Learn 5 or more sight words a week - Progress in the length and difficulty in the level of books they are able to read - Increase ability to use phonetic clues and other strategies to read new words - Show understanding of what they have read and build comprehension skills - Increase legibility of handwriting - Increase length of written sentences Overall this is a combined approach to becoming a fluent reader and writer.
0 - 1 hours per week outside of class
