Class Experience

In this course, I offer private tutor sessions engaging students in wonderful stories, drawing, and writing as they practice and identify short vowel word families and digraphs.  This class is perfect for students who have mastered letter recognition and are ready for the next step in their reading journey.  

I will guide students in identifying and practicing digraphs (sh, ch, etc.) and word families (an, en, ag, etc.) in a meaningful and magical way that developmentally speaks to the student.  Each word part will be introduced with a story allowing the student to form a picture with the sounds.  Students will also be guided to create their own visual for word families so they can be hung up or kept in a sketchbook or main lesson book to refer back to when reading, if needed.  

Students will also draw pictures from the story, as pre-writing activity that warms them into working on the writing work with me.  Students will identify and practice digraphs and word family parts while improving handwriting, writing skills, sight word identification, drawing completion skills, and hearing wonderful folktales and multi-cultural stories from around the world.  Please provide a sketchpad 9x12 or main lesson book, along with stockmar block and stick crayons for these lessons.

Learning Goals

Students will identify and practice digraphs and word family parts while improving handwriting, writing skills, sight word identification, drawing completion skills, and hearing wonderful folktales and multi-cultural stories from around the world.

I am a Waldorf educator having worked as a school librarian and library/research subject teacher for 6 years with grades K-12 as faculty at a Waldorf school in rural Pennsylvania.  I also worked as the first grade rest time teacher bringing calm and beautiful stories to this grade every day for many years. I have trained, been mentored by, and served along with some of the most experienced and dedicated Waldorf class and subject teachers in the world, some of whom have passed on and given me the greatest gift possible...to see their joy in teaching young souls. I also served as the reading coach for our school Reading Olympics team with over 40 students per year voluntarily coming to my library for an extracurricular where students were excited to read over 45 books a school year!  

I have been offering comprehensive and affordable private lessons for Waldorf and other students around the world for several years. I also offer special Waldorf grades classes where students can connect with other students around the world.  Our comfort with zoom now allows me to come to you no matter where in the world you may be!  From day one, my students notice the improvement in their abilities and overall comprehension but parents especially note the change in their confidence. I get letters every day from parents telling me how much they see the confidence in their student improving after working with me.  Each student has a unique learning style, and it’s my duty to find out what that is and adapt my lessons accordingly. Contact me today to find out how I can help you achieve your academic goals.  As both a Waldorf former homeschooling mom and a teacher at a Waldorf school, I offer a unique experience to wherever your student may be-at home or at school-while needing extra lessons.

I have also taken private courses in archetypes and studied the work of Carl Jung as a B.S. Psychology student.  I am also a published writer in the Waldorf publication LILIPOH magazine. I lived on a Navajo reservation for several summers. I also have Masters classes in Library Science, Human Services, as well as diversity training. I ran a middle and high school library at the Waldorf school where I taught creative writing, library, and research classes for six years.  I also worked in the Waldorf kindergarten and grades as an aftercare teacher.
