I have taught in my homeschool for 20+ years and tutored for 10+ years online. I have a journalism degree from PSU. I am IMSE Orton-Gillingham trained in phonics and reading instruction and am a self described word-nerd and grammar geek. I love sharing what I love with students!

Homework
Frequency: 3-6 throughout the classFeedback: Available upon requestDetails: Extra words will be sent out after class for extra practice with that day's concept. 3-4 of these will be reviewed at the beginning of the next class.
All learners benefit from hands on reading instruction, but it is especially helpful in teaching concepts to those with dyslexia. We will physically take the words apart on paper to visually see the individual syllables.
Learner should be able to read one and (some) two syllable words without assistance. We will spend our time practicing on two and three syllable words.
For the first class, your student will need pencil, a highlighter or marker, and some index cards (any size or color) OR slips of paper about the size of index cards. For the rest of the classes, students should bring paper and pencil to each class, or a dry erase board with a marker.
