      <image:caption>I use a multi-sensory method which encompasses hearing, seeing, and writing words. Using all senses, this instruction builds and strengthens pathways to the brain. It works by helping students elevate a weaker sense by linking it to a stronger sense</image:caption>

      <image:title>My Process - What I Teach &amp; Why</image:title>
      <image:caption>I love teaching people of all ages. Everyone has the right to enjoy reading. Whether you are a reader that needs tutoring support or struggling with other reading difficulties such as dyslexia, comprehension weakness, or understanding the alphabet code to read words, I can help you grow as a reader.    I have years of experience working with students with a wide range of learning needs. I am a certified practitioner for Wilson Reading and Orton-Gillingham. These programs are structured for language instruction, multi-sensory, and success oriented. They meet the different learning needs for students of all ages. I also pull from many other sources to meet each individual’s reading needs.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The Orton-Gillingham method is a successful approach in teaching people (k-adult) to read and spell.  Dyslexic readers learn best through a multi-sensory program that is structured, explicit, and systematic.  This method meets the necessary requirement for teaching a dyslexic reader. In order to best support students ,my lessons are 45-60 minutes, twice weekly.  Phonemic awareness (hearing and manipulating sounds), word structure and phonics, fluency (basically reading like one talks with expression), vocabulary, and comprehension (understanding the writer’s message).  These five parts of reading as well as spelling are taught in each lesson.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Services - Comprehension &amp; Fluency Tutoring</image:title>
      <image:caption>A comprehension lesson engages the reader to think about what they know about the subject by talking about what the reader is thinking during reading and discussing the text after reading.  Each part of the lesson is modeled for the student. Vocabulary a big part of comprehension. Unknown words are addressed in each lesson to ensure the reader has sufficient understanding of what is read. A survey of reading interests is given before starting a comprehension lesson.  Readers become engaged when they have materials that are of interest to them.  New strategies are taught as reading material becomes more challenging and diverse.  There are many tools to teach readers how to navigate fiction and non-fiction texts.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Services - Spelling Skills Tutoring</image:title>
      <image:caption>Spelling (encoding) and reading (decoding) words compliment each other because of common patterns found in language.  Another plus for the student is that a written word has to be read back to make sure the word looks and sounds right.  Spelling helps writers keep their flow of thoughts by not having to stop and try to spell an unknown word.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Teaching key words for understanding content is vital.  Homonyms, synonyms, antonyms, idioms, and everyday expressions are necessary for second language learners’.vocabulary  Pictures (butterfly) and discussions (when a word has multiple meanings) are tools used for teaching vocabulary.  Throughout instruction new vocabulary involves explanations, drawings, writings, reading, and playing with words. Word work is an important part of any lesson for a second language learner. The Orton-Gillingham approach to word recognition helps support second language learners to read unknown words.  Word work simplifies the reading process for the student.</image:caption>
