What we offer:

Reading Comprehension
The Blending Letters and Sounds 

Our reading comprehension part of the program uses specific strategies to help each student understand all parts  of what they read. The  strategies we teach include:

​

  • Using Prior Knowledge

  • Predicting

  • Identifying the Main Idea and details

  • sequencing 

  • context clues

  • Questioning

  • Making Inferences

  • Visualizing

  • Retelling

  • facts Vs. Opinions

The most effective reading instruction includes modeling followed by guided support.  In this part of the program, as the tutor works with their student, they will model the correct blending of a word. Starting by saying the sounds slowly and continue to guide them by saying the sounds faster and faster until they are able to discern the word. 

Spelling and Vocabulary
​

Our spelling and vocabulary part of the program helps each student gain the confidence they need in their writing.  Each session will have a spelling /vocabulary quiz from the previously learned words. This kind of repetition is proven to enhance reading and writing skills, which are crucial to one's literacy development.

EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT

Not everyone learns the same way or at the same pace. Therefore, the way we go about our lessons are personalized to each of our students. We believe that catering to our students specific needs is the best way to guarantee their success and confidence.

"When I first started working with Kristen, I was on the kindergarten level. As an adult, going through life not knowing how to read is hard. After finding Kristen, she has worked so closely with me on blending, reading and spelling, that a year later I am able to write this review with no help. She VERY dedicated to her students."
