獨角獸閱讀學院：透過私人1:1閱讀輔導學習閱讀

Hi there! 👋

Welcome, future STAR readers! 🌟

My name is Ms. Elizabeth, and I'm offering private reading tutoring to help children ages 4-8 with early reading skills and reading practice. 📖

In this ongoing 1:1 reading tutoring class, your child will learn to read with an experienced teacher. This class will be highly individualized to fit your learner’s needs. 

🗒️ During our first session, I will assess what reading level your learner is on through fun activities and games that measure skills in phonological awareness, phonics, letter recognition, and spelling. Then we will follow a scope and sequence to learn the foundational skills your learner needs in order to start reading fluently. 

✅ My tutoring program follows the research-based science of reading principles, including teaching oral language, phonological awareness and phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, reading/language comprehension, and writing. 

📚 I will also be using various resources as a guide in our word study journey and early reading lessons.

📚 For learners who are ready to begin reading on their own, we will be using readers on your child's reading level that I have chosen from Reading A-Z. For learners who are still just learning to decode, we will use decodable readers to practice early phonics skills.

📓 The day before class, you will receive all printable PDF materials you will need. If you’re not able to print anything, that’s okay! Just let me know, and we can work together by using any materials you have on hand to make the class interactive and engaging for your learner. 

🖥️ In addition to printable PDF materials, we may use Nearpod for some assessments and activities. If you would rather not use this third-party app, please let me know, and we will stick to paper assessments and activities. If we use Nearpod, I will send you a code along with any PDF materials needed before class so that you and your learner can access the Nearpod lesson ahead of time. 

✅ Since this is a learner-directed and individualized class, topics and themes will depend on your learner and their interests as well as their reading level. Our class routine will look very similar for each class. During class, we will:
✨ do a letter or sight word review, 
✨ introduce the read-aloud and any new words, 
✨read the story aloud with prompting, 
✨ discuss and answer comprehension questions, 
✨ learn a new sight word we found in the story, and
✨ play phonics/word games or activities at the end of class. 

🗓️ Also, if you don't see a time slot listed that works with your schedule, please send me a schedule request, and I'd be happy to find a time that will work for you! 😊
