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.
Heidi C.

22 Phonics lessons

My 9 year old son started with Barbara over the summer to help him with his phonics. We were looking for someone who was certified in the Orton-Gillingham program and was happy to find Barbara. While he resisted the idea, he quickly took to her after just a few minutes allowing me to feel comfortable leaving him to learn from her right away.
Shaohua S.

6 Phonics lessons

We have been working with Brenda to teach my daughter phonics using Wyzant online tool. We are very impressed by three things from Brenda: 1) She is an expert in phonics. She knows how kids learn and she teaches my daughter very efficiently. When I teach my daughter myself, she didn't like to learn but with Brenda she looks forward to the lecture every time. 2) My daughter is five, therefore an online session can be challenging.

 Question

How would you define Phonics in your own words?
Phonics is the process of sound/symbol integration; involving auditory and visual processing to decode and encode text. Our language is more or less phonetic. Words within our language can be broken down into individual sounds or phonemes; for example word = the sounds /w/r/d/, not exactly the... read more

 Question

How would you define Phonics in your own words?
Phonics is that fascinating realm of how letters and the sounds they make create words. In Phonics students learn, for example, the different ways the letters "th" sound depending on the word the digraph is in and the different sounds the letter "c" can make. It is about how different letters... read more

How would you define Phonics in your own words?
Phonics is the key to unlocking the Alphabetic Code of English. Without understanding this code, it is impossible to read, because reading is the process of converting written symbols to spoken sounds. A lot of what is called phonics only partially covers letter-sound correspondences, and leaves... read more

 Question

How would you define Phonics in your own words?
There are sequential steps that make it easier to learn to read. Teaching phonemic awareness and phonics are part of that sequence. First I help develop phonemic awareness -hearing and manipulating sounds. Once a student has a firm grasp on sounds (beginning, middle and ending sounds, rhyming... read more
