Hello Parents! 👋

Is your student struggling with identifying the difference between the letters "b" and "d"? 🤔 If so, then this MINI Self-Paced Course may be a great a solution!


WHY THIS COURSE?

After years of teaching students how to read, from early phonological and phonics skills to more advanced reading comprehension, I have found that many students struggle with identifying the difference between the letters "b" and "d". I have been using a very simple method to help students and have found that within a single lesson, many of the children are making great progress! ✅


WHAT'S INCLUDED?

🎥 Instructional Video: 
An engaging and interactive video (About 7 Minutes) that gives clear instructions on how to distinguish between "b" and "d".

💻 Interactive Online Exercise: 
A dynamic online activity that incorporates multiple levels and exercises to help the students reinforce what they have learned.
 
📝 Printable Worksheets: 
6 Worksheets that were specially designed by the teacher to help students practice the technique and to reinforce their letter recognition skills!



HOW IS THIS COURSE UNIQUE?

Many times I have used a more traditional style of teaching "b" & "d". However, I have found that a majority of students find these traditional methods rather confusing and difficult to grasp. In this course, we have a much more simple approach that I found to be more effective, which is simply teaching the "b-Hand" method. This allows students to focus more on the shape of the letters while also bypassing the confusion that comes with most other traditional methods.👍


WHAT CAN YOUR CHILD ACHIEVE?

📈 Improved Reading Confidence. 
🔤 Distinguish between "b" and "d".
📗 Develop stronger Reading Fluency Skills.


WILL THERE BE LIVE MEETINGS?

Since this is a "Self-Paced" course, there are no live meetings. However, along with the instructional video, online exercise and printable worksheets, you will also be able to reach out for any further guidance, questions or assistance.


📚 Thank you all so much! And Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns! 👋

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree from University of North Florida
Hello everyone!

I am very thankful to be teaching here on outschool. I have been working with children now for nearly 7 years and have been able to teach over 3000 online classes. I have a wide variety of experience from working with charter schools, local government recreation positions, public school programs and multiple online teaching platforms. Over the years I’ve had multiple educator roles such as Online Teaching, Homeschooling, Reading Tutor, Soccer Coach, Bible teacher, Sunday School, Fitness Educator, Camp Counselor and an ESL Teacher. During that time I have been able to teach a variety of different topics including English, Reading, Math, Finance, Fitness, Health, Technology and more.

I received my Bachelors degree from the University of North Florida while studying Health Science/Fitness. I was also in charge of putting together a health awareness program for struggling students while working with a charter school.

Afterwards I began working with multiple different curriculums and have specialized in working with struggling readers and began creating custom reading evaluations and courses that are tailored to help students improve in all areas of reading including speed, accuracy, pronunciation and comprehension.

You may also see that I offer typing courses which were designed to help students learn the foundational skills of typing on a computer by building and utilizing proper finger positioning, muscle memory and visual/kinesthetic accuracy while also incorporating challenging and engaging typing games/lessons.

I really do enjoy teaching many different topics and learning more everyday as I believe there is an infinite amount of wisdom to learn so we should never stop learning.

My goal as a teacher is to Equip, Encourage and Challenge each of my students to not just learn the information but rather to learn it and use it wisely in their lives.

If you have any questions please send me a message :)
