Primus Reading: aprenda a leer con un especialista en lectura, clases individuales

Learning to Read is a complicated process for most students. Children learn spoken language quite easily just by listening and learning from their environment. Reading is a much more complex process. Reading involves taken the learned spoken sounds and connecting them to letters and words. Research has shown the most effective way to learn to read is using the Science of Reading.

The Science of Reading is a proven method of teaching reading. It has five main pillars, or areas:
1. Phonemes - learning the 44 distinct sounds of the English language
2. Phonics - Connecting sounds to letters and words
3. Fluency - Ease of speed of reading
4. Vocabulary - Known words
5. Comprehension - Understanding what is read

Annette the Teacher is a trained, certified Science of Reading Specialist.

Students will be given assessments to determine their reading abilities. Students will be taught pre-reading print awareness, phonemes, and phonics using proven techniques. Learning to read is very repetitive. During each class, students will review previous skills through practice and exercises. Then they will be taught a new skill. They will practice the new skill through exercises and repetition. All lessons use presentations, slides, worksheets, games, and interactive elements and manipulatives. 

Sessions are 25 minutes long as this is the maximum amount of time students of this age can work with this level of intensity. It is recommended tutoring students have 2-4 sessions each week.

The session format is:
Welcome and warm-up: Students are welcomed into class
Review: A previous skill is reviewed and practiced
New Skill: A new skill is introduced and practiced
Wrap-Up: We review and reinforce what we learned during the class

Hand-outs: Hand-outs will be introduced throughout the course of the class. Some of these will be used during the class. Please make sure you have printed out and prepared the handouts for each class when asked to do so. Some hand-outs are for your use and review with your child. Hand-outs will be listed on the class page as PDF files. Please check the class page regularly for the handouts and print them out.

The content of the class builds throughout the class.
