Reading

When teaching reading, it is critical to use a multi- sensory approach so that all the avenues for learning are utilized. Some of these approaches are S.P.I.R.E and LindaMood Bell which both have a decoding component as well as comprehension. It is also important in any reading instruction to include activities which focus on fluency and phonemic awareness. These activities will help the learner be a more fluid reader and the phonemic awareness activities will improve the learner's awareness of... Read More

Elementary (K-6th)

When teaching Reading/Language Arts, it is important to improve fluency, comprehension, and decoding skills by using multisensory approaches, traditional approaches, or remedial approaches depending on student's needs and profile. It is necessary to review and practice all other subject skills in the curriculum. I am certified by Georgia Professional Standards through 2014 to teach students PreK-5.

Phonics

When teaching phonics, it is important to use a scientifically research based approach such as Orton Gillingham, S.P.I.R.E., or Wilson.

It is also necessary to review often and provide repetition of skills. Students need to use the phonics skills taught when reading a passage.

I am certified by Ga. Professional Standards through 2014 to teach reading which includes phonics.

I have taught phonics for over 30 years.

Study Skills

It is important to use visual clues to help with organization/study skills. Outlining is also an important tool for organization. Visual charts with reminders assist students with organization.
Using a binder is also quite helpful. Prioritizing the important things to do first also assists with organization. I am certified by Ga. Profession Standards through 2014 to teach P-5, Special Education, Learning Disabilities, and Middle School which includes study skills. I have taught study skills... Read More

Special Needs

It is necessary to teach special needs students using multi-sensory approaches in reading, spelling, and language arts as well as math. Focus can be improved through re-direction, visual cues, auditory cues. Organization/study skills are strengthened through using visual reminders, binders, outlining. I am certified by Ga. Profession Standards to teach Special Education through 2014

ADD/ADHD

It is important to use multisensory approaches when tutoring/teaching students with ADD/ADHD. It is also critical to use frequent breaks so that the student can move around and then re-focus. The tutor needs to make sure to have the student's attention through using visual cues or auditory cues before beginning instruction. Change activities often.

I am certified by Ga. Professional Standards to teach students with learning disabilities which includes ADHD/ADD. I am certified through... Read More

Aspergers

I worked successfully with Aspergers students during the 8 years I taught in a clinical setting for language based learning disabilities. During this time I was successful due to my focusing on the following principles: the importance of being consistent and organized so that the child knows what to expect, the inclusion of social skills training and the teaching of real life skills, encouraging special interests and teaching through the child's strengths. I found it necessary to stress eye contact... Read More

Dyslexia

When teaching dyslexic students, it is important to use multi-sensory approaches to teach phonics such as Orton Gollingham, S.P.I.R.E.,and Wilson so that students have all available learning channels stimulated. It is equally important to review and practice rules for decoding so that they are learned and not forgotten. Dyslexic students need to use fluency programs such as Great Leaps. It is also important to use direct instruction to teach vocabulary in context. Comprehension strategies need... Read More
