Tutoring Support: Structured Literacy Instruction

One of the ways I support families is through my targeted literacy lessons for children ages 5 to 9. My tutoring approach is grounded in the principles of structured literacy, with explicit, systematic instruction tailored to each child’s specific literacy needs. This approach not only helps students who are experiencing reading difficulties, but there is substantial evidence that it is more effective for all learners. Each lesson involves engaging, multi-sensory activities and varied guided practice opportunities. The lessons I plan are always fun and interactive!

We Need to Catch Them Early

According to Reading Partners, a children’s literacy nonprofit, “Studies have shown that children who cannot read at grade level by the start of the fourth grade are four times less likely to graduate on time than their grade-level peers.” As such, struggling readers who do not receive the necessary targeted support early on, in grades K – 2, will continue to struggle in fourth grade and beyond. My structured literacy support can change children’s trajectory for literacy learning and acquisition. Early intervention makes all the difference!

Session Structure

Each session is one hour in duration, two or three times per week depending on the learner’s needs. Sessions may be one-on-one or in small groups (4 to 6 students). Upon registering your child for my online instruction, I share with you a calendar with my availability and you choose the time that suits you.

If you want to improve your child’s literacy development and empower him or her with the necessary tools to read and write proficiently, then I urge you to take the first step today. Together, we can support our children and help them reach their potential!
