I'm Ms. Brenda, a highly qualified Reading Interventionist. I am a Certified Dyslexia Tutor and have taught Reading Interventions for 28 years. I will do a brief discovery screening with your child to obtain the needed information for well-informed instruction. Depending on age and grade, this may include alphabet recognition, sound recognition, decoding skills, phonological awareness, high-frequency word recognition, and penmanship. I am trained in Barton Reading and Spelling plus multi-sensory instruction. Barton is based on the Orton Gillingham methodology, which I incorporate as needed. I will systematically move your child along a continuum of phonics instruction to gain the skills needed for success. Your child's session will include a study of the alphabetic code and how it is applied in phonemic awareness. We will look at phonological awareness through rhyming, segmenting words, manipulating letters, and sentence construction. During our time we will learn the rules of spelling many schools have left behind. Part of the learning to read process includes writing so therefore we will have writing that will accompany some sessions. During our times together we will work on letter/sound relationships, reading, spelling, and writing. The sessions will be interactive with letter-tiles and word-tiles and will contain videos, games, slides, high-frequency word instruction, decodable reading, and more. I believe in meeting the student where they are and following the student as I guide them to success.
