(2) Initial Assessment
This is a chance for us to get to know your child and establish a rapport. We will gather information about your child’s reading and spelling skills after your child completes a series of short, informal assessments that test their:
- Phonemic awareness
- Alphabet knowledge
- Handwriting
- Phonics knowledge
- Decoding skills
- Spelling skills
- Reading fluency
- Reading comprehension
We will then use this diagnostic information to develop a plan of instruction specifically for your child. Assessments typically take 60-90 minutes.
(3) Follow-up Consultation
Meet and discuss your child’s assessment and the plan for instruction.
(4) Begin Tutoring
Students typically come for tutoring sessions 2 times per week, for 50 minutes. During each tutoring session, we use multisensory techniques and games to teach:
- Phonemic awareness
- Phonics
- Decoding Skills
- Spelling Rules
- Syllabication
- Sight Words
- Morphology (prefixes/suffixes)
- Reading with controlled/uncontrolled text
- Dictation of words and sentences
- Comprehension techniques
(5) Monthly Progress Reports
With one-on-one [1:1] tutoring, we are able to move at your child's pace.
We begin by filling in any gaps identified during your child's initial assessment. We introduce new concepts and skills when your child is ready, and incorporate spiraled review in every lesson.
You will be able to stay on top of your child's progress with detailed monthly progress reports that you can also share with your child's teachers.
