I'm an elementary school reading specialist with 25 years experience and will provide 1-on-1 reading & writing tutoring for your elementary school student. Many students may not get the individualized attention that can help their reading & writing improve as quickly as possible when working in a full class or even in a small group. Over 6 weeks, I will meet with your child twice a week for 30 minutes each time.  My approach is friendly, yet focused. I will individualize the sessions for your child's needs, focusing on what they can do and helping them to the next steps. I will work on phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, comprehension and/or fluency as needed. Reading strategies that may be taught include rereading, checking the pictures, sounding it out, and taking words apart. Because these are 1-on-1 sessions, these parts will be individualized as needed.  I'll use a mix of Google Slides, video clips, games and books throughout the course. I will also choose books and topics based on your child's interests. These sessions can be for students who may need extra help, or for students who just need some reinforcement. Sessions can include homework if the parent requests that. I look forward to working with your child!
