読み方を学ぶ: フォニックスに基づく指導

In this one-to-one class, learners will improve reading skills using a phonics based approach. Class is designed to help struggling readers develop fluency and to help ESL learners recognize and understand the English language. We will develop a plan for each enrolled learner based on needs. I am happy to provide learning content (which I have used for my own homeschooled children) or you can feel free to submit your material to me if you have a preferred curriculum or reading plan. 

Each student learns at a different pace and I welcome each one into class at an appropriate level. No one is ever ahead or behind. We are all right on time with our specific learning needs.

The first meeting will be designed to meet your child and get a feel for learning styles, interests, and to develop a plan with specific goals in mind. Please feel free to message me with any relevant information or concerns related to your child's development and progress, as well as, your expectations in the course.
