Hello my name is Fernando,
I am currently a Literacy Aide at Lindsay Unified School District and work with grades k-4. I previously did the same thing with Tulare City Schools. My experience with tutoring began with Kindergarten and helping them learn sight words and ABC's. Later I worked with upper grades to help with fluency. I am a firm believer that every student has it in them to become a great and confident reader.

I have been trained in Reading Mastery, Corrective reading, and guided reading. I assess and test students for my job and know what to look for and where to begin with students. I
