Would you like to prepare your child for reading and math success? Well, I offer solutions for learning that I call STAR solutions! I utilize a multi-sensory, interactive approach for tutoring reading and math that capitalizes on your students' learning strengths and interests. My individualized sessions cater specifically to your child's learning needs. Lessons include engaging, hands-on teaching that offers your child alternative methods to learning. I use the STAR acronym to explain that teaching strategies in my lessons are: Strategic for the "whole child"; Technologically-integrated; Avant-garde (creative and unconventional); Reputable and research-based. Reading lessons may include any combination of the following: phonemic awareness, phonics and word building, sight words, reading comprehension, and handwriting. Math lessons will include common core skills and beyond to prepare your child for counting and manipulating numbers, place value, geometric concepts, finding patterns, and graphing. So why not find your solutions under the STAR! Join me for an engaging, one-on-one session today.
Learning Goals
Students will strengthen their math skills in counting and manipulating numbers, place value, geometric concepts, graphing, and patterns. Students will strengthen their phonemic awareness skills of listening, counting word syllables, rhyming and word families, discriminating/segmenting words vs. sentences, and differentiating initial, middle, and final sounds. Common Core Standards Listed:
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RF.K.2.A
Recognize and produce rhyming words.
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RF.K.2.B
Count, pronounce, blend, and segment syllables in spoken words.
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RF.K.2.C
Blend and segment onsets and rimes of single-syllable spoken words.
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RF.K.2.D
Isolate and pronounce the initial, medial vowel, and final sounds (phonemes) in three-phoneme (consonant-vowel-consonant, or CVC) words.1 (This does not include CVCs ending with /l/, /r/, or /x/.)
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RF.K.2.E
Add or substitute individual sounds (phonemes) in simple, one-syllable words to make new words.
Students will identify letters and corresponding sounds to blend words.
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RF.K.3.A
Demonstrate basic knowledge of one-to-one letter-sound correspondences by producing the primary sound or many of the most frequent sounds for each consonant.
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RF.K.3.B
Associate the short sounds with the common spellings (graphemes) for the five major vowels.
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RF.K.3.D
Distinguish between similarly spelled words by identifying the sounds of the letters that differ.
