Children read to a certified teacher and reading coach, and receive friendly support on pronunciation, phonetic decoding, blending and comprehension, and lots of praise and interest.
The one-on-one tutoring session is structured by introducing my therapy dog, Toby, I employ lots of positive reinforcement to children who might feel uncomfortable reading aloud. Different tactics might be used to encourage reading, such as I read a sentence, child reads a sentence, or echo reading. I will be sharing my screen with a book at the appropriate level for the reader.
