“Can I stay in this class forever?”
~quote from a recent student 

Have you heard the line "I Hate Reading!"?  Do you have a beginning reader who is tired of the BOB books?  Come join me for a private reading session including books for your individual child's interests... dogs, cats, horses, holidays, superheroes, dinosaurs, princesses, mythological creatures... whatever it is I work to find books that work with the student's interests and reading level to keep them feeling successful, peaceful and happy with reading.  

These sessions are private one-on-one guided reading tutoring sessions where we read stories and short books, play quiz games, answer discussion questions, and work on grammar skills. Please reach out to me with a day/time that works for you!   I tutor using a variety of visuals and online books while keeping children engaged and excited to participate throughout our lessons. 

*I also use a unique, one-of-a-kind reading strategy to work on fluency and confidence so students can get immediate positive feedback motivating them to keep reading.  

I complete a reading assessment in our first class together so we can work on your learner's level.  Parents are given notes from this assessment, as well as class notes from every class.   I have seen my students succeed in moving up guided reading levels quickly with the strategies that I use.  I have also found that students who take 2-3 classes a week excel in their levels at a faster pace.  

I provide all reading material and focus on phonics sounds using pictures, matching exercises, and short phrases/sentences. We work on all vowel sounds and I target reading errors individually.  We use interesting and exciting books that your student will love.  I also use interactive activities, puzzles, and short comprehension questions to keep kids engaged in the lesson. I love to have fun teaching children to love reading with me!  Students leave my class feeling successful and happy to keep reading.  My six years of teaching as a librarian at a private school have given me a unique ability to know what helps motivate kids to learn and feel confident.  

Unique learners, homeschoolers, and unschoolers are welcome.  

I also have this same class available for ages 10-15 (check my profile for listed classes).
