Jemar, Your drive to change the trajectory of our culture inspires me. Thank you for being a beacon of hope and action.
I am a Literacy Tutor helping students become even better readers. My students range from Kindergarten-4th grade. The 2nd-4th graders are from 6 months to two grade levels behind in reading. The K students are not keeping up learning letter names, so letter sounds and phonics are not their forte either. I see improvement quickly with K & 1st graders, they are amazing sponges when they catch on to the methodology. Second-fourth graders move at a variety of places yet I strive not to give up or give in so they value that.
The sessions are 20 minutes, one-on-one. We can do online...I am familiar with it due to the many months of Covid preventing in-person sessions.
Want to talk about this with me for your son? Kim🌠
That’s SO KIND of you. After a lot of work, I think we’re on a decent path now, but I’ll surely contact you if anything changes. Thank you so much for the important work you’re doing!
You are very welcome. Here's a tidbit for you: check his Fluency for the grade he's in now. Most important aspect is accuracy & ability to correct himself. My eldest daughter, now age 41 yrs, hated reading in 5th grade. Together we chose a book series and each had our own copies of the books. I stayed at her pace, then while doing dishes, riding in the car, on bike rides, walking to church, etc we'd talk about "What was happening to...main character" or shared our reaction to choices made by those in the chapter just read. If you son is in 5th-8th grade I recommend this practice with The Wingfeather Saga series by Andrew Peterson. Happy Reading!
This is so exciting! I would love to have something on video that is shorter (around 10 minutes) to use with younger kids with shorter attention spans.
Each video is 17-20 minutes. I try to break up the content with photos and video clips. But it can still feel a bit long to kids. I think you could pause and break each episode into two parts.
