Everything I teach is tailored to the specific learning needs of the child. We will work together to find the techniques that work best for them so they can take these forward to use in school and other learning settings in the future.
As part of the programme, I provide pre-teaching assessments in reading, spelling and phonological awareness so that the child's current understanding can be established and the teaching programme tailored specifically to their needs.
The lessons involve multisensory teaching techniques and are structured so skills and understanding are built-up gradually. In this way, learners can experience success and build their confidence and self-esteem.
Lessons include activities to target the following:
Understanding and recall of the alphabet
Phonological awareness
Understanding and recall of phonic units
Handwriting and letter formation
Reading skills
Writing skills and punctuation
