I have over 12+ years experience in the classroom from preschool to first grade. Teaching reading is my absolute most favorite subject to teach! I struggled to learn how to read and I don't necessarily love it as a past-time as an adult. But I truly believe in the importance of early intervention and building that foundation early on to help build a child's confidence and self esteem! 

I am trained in the Orton-Gillingham International approach to teach reading. This method is a multi sensory - visual/auditory/kinesthetic/tactile approach that has been found to be beneficial to students identified with dyslexia. OG is structured, sequential, cumulative and repetitive. It has been described as a vehicle for integrating thinking skills, vocabulary development, writing skills, and content subjects. OG makes the connection between reading, spelling, writing, and oral language. 

Possible- There may be times when I suggest extra reading/listening to reading and/or practicing tricky words.

Scope and Sequence: After determining what your child can do I will meet them where they are at. Skills will be taught in order of following the developmental Orton-Gillingham scope and sequence kindergarten-third grade based of your child's individual needs.

25 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
