Beginner Level
In this one-day tutoring session students will work one-on-one with a certified reading specialist. Classes will meet for 30 minutes. Please email to set up a time. This class can be ongoing. Each course will be individualized based on student need. Diagnostic assessments will be used in the first session to gain further knowledge of reading needs. Areas that may be covered include phonological awareness, phonics, sight words, fluency, vocabulary and/or comprehension. I will use a structured literacy approach in each session through the use of decodable text and online materials from UFLI (The University of Florida Literacy Institute). I believe all students need a cheerleader in their corner when building confidence in reading.
Learning Goals
Students will know and apply grade-level phonics and word analysis skills in decoding words.
Students will read with accuracy and fluency to support comprehension.
