My Teaching Philosophy 

My teaching style is student-centric. I believe that students learn best when they are engaged, active participants in their learning, and feel comfortable with their teacher. My goal is to create fun, interactive, and research-based lessons tailored to the needs of each young learner I have the joy of working with. 



How I Teach 

*Listen & Repeat- Brief and focused practice on letters, sounds, words, and concepts 
*Gamified Learning- Fun and engaging activities that peak student interest as they learn.
*Slides- Visual aids to illustrate letters, words, sounds, and ideas.
*Discussion- Students are encouraged to share their thoughts and ideas during class. 
*Positivity- We celebrate what students can do and when they learn new skills. 


Homework 

Upon request, I can send worksheets, flashcards, videos, and links to helpful resources to help your child continue to practice reading outside of class.
