The reading challenge stems from a variety of reasons. I will mitigate the following  in our sessions:

• Dyslexia

• ADHD

• Working Memory

• Processing Speed

• Visual Processing Challenges

• Fluid Reasoning Challenges

• and more

To improve reading skills we work on Phonemic Awareness, Phonics, Decoding, Spelling, Syntax, Vocabulary, Reading Strategies, Procody, Fluency, and Basic Writing.

The writing difficulty can be caused by several factors. In my teaching, I mitigate the challenges with the following:

• Working Memory

• Processing Speed

• Executive Functions

• Initiation and chunking

• ADHD

• Dysgraphia

To improve writing skills we work from simple to complex: making lists, making simple, compound, and complex sentences, organizing sentences into short paragraphs, and expanding those into 3-5 paragraph essays.

Test prep is not a skill readily taught at a public school. Many students need explicit instruction to know how best to approach test questions. Each section relies on a student's ability to find an effective strategy to approach a question. I offer help with the Reading and Writing & Language sections.
