Tutoría individual de lectura, escritura y ortografía (primaria, necesidades especiales), 50 min.

This class is for your learner.  I will want to understand their strengths and needs in literacy &  what motivates them.  I will use this information to target those needs as efficiently as possible, while building a relationship with your child and making the process of learning a positive experience for them.  As they make systematic progress they will build confidence and make greater overall academic gains.  

 Spelling is one of the mechanics of writing that can really hold learners back from enjoying and succeeding at writing, as well as from overall academic progress.  With systematic intervention, or sometimes just a little extra attention to this all children can make progress.   Early help with spelling will enable learners to progress in all subjects that require writing.  

I also love to teach beginning and early reading and writing; making sure children build a strong foundation for all future learning.  Students thrive when they're taught these skills in a way that honors their individual abilities and personalities, and  provides for fun and meaning as they learn the reading/writing code.   

I will work with your reluctant, or eager young writer.  Some areas I'm currently addressing, or have addressed on outschool include:
 building confidence in writing
 increasing motivation for writing
 letters/handwriting
 word work (handwriting and phonics/spelling)
 sentences (What is a sentence?  Mechanics/Grammar of a sentence.  Sentence types. 
      Making sentences more interesting and varied.)  
 paragraphs (What is a paragraph?  Paragraph structure and organization.  Practice in 
      writing topic sentences, details, concluding sentences.  Practice writing many 
       different kinds of paragraphs for different reasons and audiences.
 written responses to reading.

I would be happy to work with learners on creative writing and the writing process including editing.  

Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions or time requests.  I have worked with many learners with quite diverse needs in the past including students with low vision, intellectual delays, dyslexia, giftedness, ASD and a few students with ADHD.  

Any information you can provide prior to our first session will help make the most of our first class.  A sample of your child's writing if writing or spelling are areas of need will be very helpful for planning.  If your learner has any special needs for which I should plan ahead, please let me know. If I have received no prior information, our first class may be mostly assessment and learning about your child in order that I provide the best possible learning experiences going forward.  Some informal assessment should be expected at the first class as I get to know your learner, unless I've been provided with information specific enough to begin teaching.
