Online lessons for students in grades 1-8.
My lessons use an Orton-Gillingham based program which is the gold standard for children who struggle with reading and spelling.
This multi-sensory approach explicitly teaches students each piece of the reading journey so they no longer need to rely on guessing.
Each lesson involves decoding, comprehension, spelling, and writing skills.
Online lessons use Zoom as our platform with a shared whiteboard and interactive games.
