Class Experience
US Grade Kindergarten - 5
Beginner - Intermediate Level
NOTE: This class REQUIRES a 3 day per week commitment in order to ensure student progress. Please register for Tuesdays, Wednesdays, AND Thursdays at the same hour in an ongoing fashion. This will reserve your learners' spot for ongoing tutoring. Instant recognition of sight words is critical because it results in reading fluency. Yet many young readers struggle to remember these types of words. They are sprinkled heavily inside everything we read. From basic words to more advanced . ....
- Use a multi-sensory approach to learn sight words from Dolch, Fry, and Fountas + Pinnell lists.
I am a certified reading specialist with a Masters Degree in reading. I have a strong interest in "how the BRAIN actually learns to read", and during instruction, I teach this to children. (Most people don't know that our brain is actually NOT wired to read, which is why some children struggle more than others!) My sessions are highly individualized and based on the way each individual students' brain processes sounds and print. I have taught in a variety of capacities in public schools and universities. These roles include teaching kindergarten/first/or second grade classrooms, and work as a K-5 school Reading Specialist; teaching undergraduate reading courses at the university level; assisting new teachers as a sought after Mentor Teacher; and training teachers in reading programs through school staff development sessions throughout California. I am now retired from public school teaching, and since 2020 I have enjoyed bringing the joys of reading success to learners on Outschool!

The SNAP word method is powerful and I've never seen it NOT work. It's a MUST for Dyslexic learners and children struggling to remember the most important words that connect the decodable words together.
