Students will learn and progress at their own level in the following foundational reading skills:

phonological awareness
spelling-letter sounds
sight words
phonics / syllables / morphemes
reading connected text
spelling/writing  instruction (letter formation if needed; sentence formation and mechanics; encoding words)

I am a certified reading specialist with a Masters Degree in reading.  I have a strong interest in "how the BRAIN actually learns to read", and during instruction, I teach this to children.  
(Most people don't know that our brain is actually NOT wired to read, which is why some children struggle more than others!)  My sessions are highly individualized and based on the way each individual students' brain processes sounds and print.
I have taught in a variety of capacities in public schools and universities.  These roles include teaching kindergarten/first/or second grade classrooms, and work as a K-5 school Reading Specialist; teaching undergraduate reading courses at the university level; assisting new teachers as a sought after Mentor Teacher; and training teachers in reading programs through school staff development sessions throughout California.  I am now retired from public school teaching, and since 2020 I have enjoyed bringing the joys of reading success to learners on Outschool!

This class includes multi-sensory learning activities and is personalized to support and meet the individual needs of learners with the kinds of language processing problems associated with dyslexia.  

All material will be virtual and sent as print downloads.  You will also want to make flash cards of the words I send you to practice (if appropriate).
