Reading Skills are the building blocks of your child's future. Let's Build them Together!
SKILL-BASED TUTORING
Decoding (D) x Language Comprehension (LC) = Reading Comprehension (RC)
Decoding (D): Efficient word recognition for familiar and unfamiliar words in text (Hoover & Gough, 1990; Gough & Tunmer, 1986). Language Comprehension (LC): Understanding spoken words in context, including vocabulary, grammar, and discourse (Catts, Adlof, & Weismer, 2006). Reading Comprehension (RC): Understanding written text, involving word recognition and deriving meaning from print (Hoover & Gough, 1990).
I am dedicated to enhancing your child’s reading abilities through structured literacy instruction. Together, we will collaborate to achieve mastery and build a strong foundation for reading success. I believe in a methodical approach that combines live tutoring sessions with independent practice at home, ensuring consistent reinforcement of taught concepts and active application between sessions.
Specifically, I focus on:
- Teaching skills in isolation: Introducing and explaining each concept clearly.
- Reinforcing learning through practice opportunities: Providing structured activities to reinforce skills.
- Observing and affirming independent use of skills: Monitoring progress and encouraging the application of learned concepts.
My goal is to support your child’s reading journey with a structured and supportive approach, leading to lasting success.
At Reading with Ms. Joy, I offer skill-based tutoring and intervention services designed to enhance the foundational reading skills of school-aged struggling readers and learners. My instruction is rooted in the Orton-Gillingham Structured Literacy (SL) approach, providing personalized, interactive online tutoring via Zoom. Each engaging 30-40 minute session is carefully tailored to address specific reading and spelling challenges, offering targeted support to foster progress and development.
