I am a certified teacher for elementary grades 1-6 and deaf/HH students preK-grade 12 with a bachelor's degree in elementary education and a master's degree in special education. I taught grade 1 for more than twenty years and preschool for five years. I use a combination of phonics, phonemic awareness, word patterns, linking prior knowledge, sight word identification, predicting, comprehension study, process writing, and fluency practice to improve reading and writing skills.
Homework Offered
❖ Daily reading is encouraged. This can be the learner reading independently, the learner reading aloud, or the parent (or sibling) reading to the learner. ❖ I will write a brief note to the student following each tutoring session.
