Raising Rising Readers Private Tutoring Lessons

In each of the five sessions, the student will receive individualized instruction in activities that will include practice in the five components of literacy instruction: phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. The instruction will be based on what is developmentally appropriate for a student in grades 3-5, with consideration of emotional, intellectual, and academic knowledge and growth. Additionally, the instruction is centered around the "I do/we do/you do/model." 

Each session will begin with a read-aloud and the five components of literacy will be incorporated into the lesson. A detailed description of how the five components will be integrated is listed below:

Phonemic Awareness- Demonstrate an understanding of spoken words, syllables, and sounds.
Phonics-Demonstrate and apply grade-level phonics in decoding words.
Fluency- With prompting and support, demonstrate accuracy and rate while reading aloud.
Vocabulary - With guidance and support, explore word meanings based on kindergarten reading and content.
Comprehension- Retell familiar stories with an understanding of characters and key details of the text.
