Please contact me on my website or through Indyed to set up a class time for your learner.

Your learner will love reading through a winter themed book in this class!  Please contact me on my website or through Indyed to set up a class time for your learner.  All classes will be held virtually on Zoom.

Prior to class, we will discuss the reading goals for your learner.  Winter themed books will be selected based on your learner's reading level.  We might try a few books until we find a good reading fit.  Please let me know if your learner has a book preference, and I will do my best to accommodate their request.  I do not have a formal assessment to determine your learner's reading level.

As your learner reads, I will offer gentle guidance, encouragement, and corrections as necessary.  We will pause to discuss and check for reading comprehension.

Learner Reading Requirements

• Learners should be familiar with basic letter sounds.
• Learners should be prepared to combine letter sounds to create CVC words (consonant-vowel-consonant).

Teaching Style

• I am an extremely patient and encouraging teacher.
• I adjust my teaching methods to suit each learner.
• I will utilize props or visuals when necessary.
• Errors will be corrected in a positive way.

As a mom of two sons with ADHD, I know to offer patience and redirection throughout class.  I will find ways to help keep your learner focused on the material.  I always strive to find books that interest them.  If needed, I break larger pages into parts to keep it from feeling overwhelming.  We also can switch between books or games to maintain interest.

The techniques I utilize for all students work well for those with dyslexia.  I can provide leveled decodable readers in class.  New sounds, blends, digraphs, and sight words are introduced slowly.  This helps keep it from becoming overwhelming.  As we read, I can divide words into parts, show the root word, or rewrite the word larger and more spaced out so it is easier to read.
