πŸ“– INTENSIVE READING INSTRUCTION
Learners who are reading below grade level often require intensive reading support. Recent studies from the National Bureau of Economic Research show that high-dosage tutoring, with at least three weekly sessions lasting 30 minutes each, is key for academic success. 

πŸ“– PROGRESS MONITORING
Ongoing assessment and progress monitoring are fundamental aspects of my approach to ensure each student's steady progress. I continuously evaluate the effectiveness of my lessons, and make necessary adjustments.

As a special education teacher, my commitment is to help students with diverse learning needs overcome reading challenges and build the confidence they need to excel in reading and beyond. If you're looking for a teammate to help your child succeed in reading, enroll in this class or check out my private tutoring.
