Class Experience

US Grade Kindergarten - 3
Is your child ready to smash through their learning goals? 

This class will provide your child with the support they need for either remediation or enrichment in reading, phonics/foundational skills, fluency, comprehension, and vocabulary. Your child will receive private and customized one-on-one tutoring to meet their needs and learning style. 

Early Readers (approximately pre-k - 2nd grade) - I will use the first lesson to perform an assessment to determine their current reading ability and what they need help with. 
Older Readers (approximately 2nd grade - 5th grade) - I will use the first lesson to perform and assessment to determine the current reading level, fluency skills, and level of comprehension. 

Continuing lessons will follow the assessment, parent input, and child's desires. I will use the lessons to target areas of concern, fill in learning gaps, and work with the child's interests. 
🌟For Early Readers, this could mean learning letter sounds, blending CVC words, or reading short sentences. We will work for mastery before moving on to the next area of reading skill development. The order I follow is: letter sounds, CVC short vowel word families, digraphs, blends, magic E, vowel teams, diphthongs, r-influenced vowels, word endings, contractions, homophones. These skills will include reading at the word, phrase, sentence, then story level before moving on to the next skills. 
🌟For Older Readers, we might read leveled books with comprehension, vocabulary, and discussion topics. Older Readers who have mastered all foundational skills listed in the early readers section could also choose a novel study to complete over several weeks with parental approval. Novel studies will include vocabulary, functional usage of the vocabulary words, comprehension and retelling skills, and discussion along with reading the chapters. Novel studies will also focus on reading fluency (word accuracy, expression while reading, and reading at a proper pace). Novel studies will require the student to acquire their own copy of the book being read. 

For new bookings, I will contact you within 24 hours of booking to discuss the concerns you have for your child, your goals for this course, and to learn a little about your child in general. 

Learners will need to bring blank/notebook paper, crayons/markers and a pencil to each meeting. Depending on the skills/types of activities, you may need to print materials before class or bring other supplies to class. I will let you know of any additional materials before class. 

Please let me know as soon as possible if you need to cancel or reschedule a session. 

😊😊Please let me know if these dates and times do not work for you, I may be able to accommodate!!
