Looking to support your child's literacy development? Join us for a semester of ongoing classes for your second grade reader! In this supportive, encouraging and interactive small group tutoring session, led by a UVA-certified reading specialist, students will work to improve their fluency, spelling, reading comprehension and writing skills. Some topics covered in Semester 1: *Fluency: Reading Rate and Expression *Reading Comprehension: Retelling, Ask and Answer Questions, Summarize *Spelling: Common Long and Short Vowel Teams *Writing Skills: Capitalizations and Apostrophes This class is best suited for students reading at a 2nd grade level (which may also be noted as J, K, L or M or DRA level 18-28 Lexile levels 430–850.) If you are unsure of your child's reading level, please reach out to me before class and I'd be happy to chat. You can also sign up for one of my Reading Level Quick Assessments: https://bit.ly/3xbvExW Each week's topics/lessons will be learner-directed and based on student need.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Virginia Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
Welcome!
I am passionate about instilling a love of reading in children through sharing engaging, high interest texts. The classes I teach are literacy based, and I also offer reading assessments to help parents have a better understanding of their child's reading level and strategies to support them.
I have ten years teaching experience at the elementary level and my Masters in Reading Education from UVA and am certified to teach readers from K-12. I ran the CETA (Changing Education through the Arts) program by the Kennedy Center, at my school and find great value in arts integration.
I believe children should feel that they are valued members of a class in order to do their best learning. Classes should be engaging, interactive and social, especially in a virtual format.
I have two little guys at home and we love to bake, go on nature walks, and we just learned about Geocaching! Oh, and I'm a Penn Stater at heart- We Are!
