Learning goals vary depending on the individual reader. All students will be extended in their reading comprehension and capability to respond to different passages and texts.

Hello! My name is Miss T. I’m a certified primary school teacher with a Master of Teaching, a Bachelor of Arts majoring in Second Language Education, and a Certificate in ESOL Home Tutoring.

I love teaching literacy. I have worked alongside literacy experts in my educational leadership roles and am very experienced in extending gifted learners beyond the scope of their current grade level. I thoroughly enjoy broadening their horizons even further through reading!

I have several years of classroom experience delivering carefully planned, targeted curriculum to children aged 5 to 13. My other specialties are literature, ESOL, mathematics, visual arts, and social-emotional skills. I also have experience teaching the Montessori Method, reflected in my calm and caring teaching persona.

Detalles: Homework is optional. Please indicate whether the student would prefer to receive this homework. Depending on student needs, students may receive passages or texts to read, and comprehension activities to complete. All students, whether completing homework or not, are encouraged to follow their reading passions and share any self-directed reading activities with me!

Detalles: Assessment is always ongoing during these tutoring sessions, and I will be responding to arising needs, gaps, and extension. I will initially assess a student's reading fluency and comprehension in fiction and nonfiction texts. Over time, I will use my teacher judgement as to when the student will need to be reassessed. This will also be done in a 1:1 session with the student and may require the student to pre-read a text unassisted as homework prior to the assessment.
If families/students would like an assessment of the student’s phonemic awareness and phonics knowledge, I can assess these areas in another session upon request (in addition to the first two assessments).

Detalles: Depending on the student's self-directed reading activities, I can provide constructive feedback on text responses that students complete and submit in their own time. Comprehensive feedback can be in the 1:1 tutoring session or in an additional session that week.

This class is designed to extend gifted learners beyond what reading curriculum is offered in their everyday classroom.

For students who need more targeted, engaging instruction to extend their reading fluency and comprehension. Students with strong phonemic awareness and phonics knowledge beyond their current grade level are suitable for this class.

We may refer to a range of books, texts, articles and excerpted passages of both fiction and nonfiction material.
