Laura H.

47 Phonics lessons

Our son was challenged sounding out words, and at his advanced age, finding a phonics program that wasn't just for younger kids was impossible. Malea was able to develop a program as time progressed based on his specific problem areas she identified each lesson. She used a wide range of resources she knew about and searched diligently for new resources to help him. Not only did his phonics improve, his reading out loud skills improved and he grew more and more confident each week.

Colleen has been amazing at reinforcing the phonics and math concepts my 1st grader learns in school. Her sessions are engaging and tailored to my child’s needs. Phonics are based on structured literacy. My child always looks forward to her time with Colleen.
