Structured Literacy Support
Explicit, research-aligned instruction designed to build lasting reading skills — one session at a time.
What Happens in a Session
Each 40-minute session follows a structured, predictable format — designed to maximize learning while keeping your child engaged and confident. Sessions are held online via video call using a document camera, so I can see your child's work in real time and provide immediate, precise feedback.
Skills We Build Together
Every session weaves together these core components of structured literacy instruction.
Phonemic Awareness
Training the ear to hear and manipulate individual sounds in words — the essential foundation for decoding.
Phonics & Decoding
Connecting sounds to letters and letter patterns — taught explicitly and sequentially, building from simple to complex.
Spelling & Dictation
Applying phonics knowledge to encoding — reinforcing letter-sound connections through structured spelling practice.
Fluency Practice
Building speed, accuracy, and expression through guided reading practice — making reading feel natural and automatic.
Connected Text
Applying new skills to real reading passages — where decoding, fluency, and comprehension come together in context.
What You'll Need
Sessions are held online. Here's what your child needs to participate.
A tablet or phone screen is too small for effective sessions.
Essential for me to see your child's written work in real time. We recommend the IPEVO V4K.
Used during instruction for phonics, spelling, and guided practice activities.
A stable connection ensures smooth, uninterrupted sessions.
A calm, distraction-free space helps your child focus and do their best work.
