Class experience
US Grade 2 - 5
Intermediate Level
NOTE: This class REQUIRES a 3 day per week commitment in order to ensure student progress. Please register for Tuesdays, Wednesdays, AND Thursdays at the same hour in an ongoing fashion. This will reserve your learners' spot for ongoing tutoring. Once learners uncover the rules for dividing words into their sound-parts, learning to read big words becomes a fun challenge for them! Kind of like solving a puzzle! Using a research-based literacy program with a systematic, brain empowering...
To ensure effective tutoring, the teacher suggests meeting 3x per week. Book additional recurring meetings after the initial purchase.
Students will learn and progress in the following foundational reading and spelling skills: *six syllable types (open syllables, closed syllables, syllables with final e, syllables with vowel pairs, r-controlled syllables, and consonant-l-e syllables) *syllabic generalizations (vowel-consonant-consonant-vowel) patterns *morphological units, including common prefixes, roots, and suffixes *advanced phonics (Did YOU know that short /o/ (as in pot) has 8 different spellings?! (a, au, aw, augh, ough, o, al, ou) *reading longer words in connected text
I am a certified reading specialist with a Masters Degree in reading. I have a strong interest in "how the BRAIN actually learns to read", and during instruction, I teach this to children. (Most people don't know that our brain is actually NOT wired to read, which is why some children struggle more than others!) My sessions are highly individualized and based on the way each individual students' brain processes sounds and print. I have taught in a variety of capacities in public schools and universities. These roles include teaching kindergarten/first/or second grade classrooms, and work as a K-5 school Reading Specialist; teaching undergraduate reading courses at the university level; assisting new teachers as a sought after Mentor Teacher; and training teachers in reading programs through school staff development sessions throughout California. I am now retired from public school teaching, and since 2020 I have enjoyed bringing the joys of reading success to learners on Outschool!
