Spelling, Reading, and Writing Tutoring

I offer a unique approach to tutoring by integrating multiple teaching methods that are based on the Science of Reading to create a comprehensive learning experience that supports learners to develop important literacy skills. Each class will begin with a review of previously learned concepts, phonemic awareness activities, phonics exercises, writing practice, vocabulary development, and fluency practice. I use worksheets, various texts, slides, and discussion in my lessons. If your child has a particular interest, I would be happy to incorporate that into the lessons to increase engagement.

What I offer in this class:

Personalized Learning: I combine my training in the Orton-Gillingham approach with other methods to provide lessons that are individualized, structured, and designed to address your child's needs.

Efficient Progress: I integrate steam-lined activities into each lesson that are designed to accelerate your child's reading and spelling skills without the need for memorizing spelling rules.

Adaptability: I can adapt lessons to fit your child's unique learning profile and preferences. Does your child love monster trucks? I can incorporate that into the lesson. Does your child need to wiggle and move around? We can make that part of the learning plan.

Comprehensive Learning Opportunities: I cover all aspects of literacy development (reading, spelling, vocabulary development, writing practice, and comprehension) into each lesson.

Support and Encouragement: Learning to read and write are challenging tasks that leave many students feeling discouraged and overwhelmed. I strive to provide a safe, supportive, and encouraging space for struggling students.

The lesson schedule:

Week 1 - Introduction, get to know your child and their interests . Informal reading and spelling assessment to determine needs.
Weeks 2-6 - Structured and explicit literacy lessons based on assessment
Weeks 7 - Re-assessment to determine future lesson plans.
