閱讀奇蹟 - 文學成功的私人輔導！

Most struggling readers have poor blending and decoding skills - that's where I come in! In each lesson, we will practice word work, guided oral reading, and re-reading for fluency. The word work increases in phonemic challenge as your child improves from reading just CVC words to CCCVCC in just a couple months.

We'll also learn new vocabulary words from the stories and will work on phonics and grammar.

This course is for elementary students grades 1-5 needing to strengthen their reading and English language arts skills. My goal for each lesson is to increase your child's phonemic awareness and phonics skills so that they become a stronger reader! If you child is an advanced learner, we will focus more on reading texts the challenge them, as well as grammar and phonics.

As part of my tutoring services, I also offer a free subscription to Reading A-Z (Kids A-Z) for your child.  This is a fantastic online reading program that many teachers use to assess students and improve their student's reading. With over 500 books at 29 different levels of reading difficulty, my students have access to many different high-interest books. Along with our lessons, I will assign reading tasks in Reading A-Z for your child to complete each week.

IMPORTANT! If your child is below grade level in reading, my goal is to move them up one whole grade level in 2-3 months. I recommend meeting at least twice a week to reinforce new learning concepts and increase fluency. Each class is 50 minutes but can be shortened for readers with special needs.

I use both the Reading Simplified framework and Reading A-Z books/worksheets for my lessons. The worksheets will be their homework if we don't get to them in class! If you'd prefer no homework, that's fine too!

To break up the lessons, we also play games (Bamboozle/YouTube games/Pictionary) periodically. 

Students should have basic phonemic awareness, be able to recognize letters and letter sounds, have pre-reading skills (left-to-right progression, understanding spaces between words), and have an interest in reading. Students should also have had exposure to CVC words, be willing to engage and participate, follow instructions, and have the ability to focus on short reading tasks.

Please let me know your child's current reading level (it's ok if you don't know). In the first two lessons, I'd like to assess their reading abilities. After that, I'll test every couple of months for fluency.

I can't wait to meet you and to start reading lessons!
