Digraph -CK で楽しく読み書き！

Welcome! My name is Ms. Kathi, and I am thrilled to begin this journey with you. I have over 13 years of experience teaching and tutoring students, and my passion lies in helping them navigate the English language. Seeing a child gain confidence as they progress in their understanding of our unique language is one of my greatest joys. I specialize in teaching phonics, morphology, reading, writing, vocabulary, grammar, and comprehension using a direct, multi-sensory approach. While every child's journey to becoming a reader is unique, there are specific components that struggling readers and dyslexic learners need to help them achieve success.
In my class, I encourage students to take risks and celebrate asking questions, as all great learning begins with curiosity. It is my privilege and honor to join your child on this journey. When not teaching, you can find me dancing, swimming, hiking, and enjoying the beach with my poodle, Darbee.
