In this reading class, I will help your child grow in their reading skills at their own individual reading level.  Whether your child is just beginning to learn their letters and sounds, or if they are developing well in their reading skills, or if they struggle with keeping up with their expected grade level of reading, this class will provide the support, activities and encouragement to help your child grow in their reading.

The class will begin with a quick assessment to see where your child is at with their reading.  Then I will choose activities that will best help your child with their current level.

Some activities that the reading class may include are:

1.  phonemic awareness activities if your learner is young and would benefit from some pre-reading skills.
2.  Reading Simplified Activities such as switch-it, or read it, or sort it.  (more info below)
3.  Right brained reading strategies developed by Dianne Craft - helpful for learners with 4.  Autism, Asperger’s, ADD, ADHD, Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, and for students who struggle to remember letter sounds (more info below)
5.  Stories to read at their level
6.  Reading games such as tic tac toe, connect 4 or feed the shark
7.  Or a combination of the above activities.


During each lesson I will continually be assessing where your child is at to determine whether to continue at the same reading level, or whether your child is ready for a more challenging reading lesson.

Your child will receive a lot of support and encouragement as they work on their reading skills with me!  I look forward to helping your child learn how to read or improve their reading skills!

Additional information:

The Reading Simplified pathways include the following steps:
Blending and manipulating 3 sound words
Learning advanced phonics knowledge
Blending and manipulating 4 sound words
Blending by chunk (multisyllable)

Right Brained Phonics is a reading program developed by Dianne Craft.  It is an Orton Gillingham based phonics program.  No rules, no writing, no memorizing.  This  program is for bright students who have to work too hard to learn how to read.  

Some clues that your child may benefit from right brained teaching strategies are:
Phonics sounds & rules don’t stick (you’re on your 3rd phonics program)
Your learner sounds out the same word over and over in a story
Sight words are hard to memorize (Sounds out all words “what, many”)
