Reading Specializing in Phonics Tutor for Elementary Students Kindergarten through fourth grade.

Methodology

I start with the understanding of what each letter represents. Then we work on the sounds that the letters stand for, after this I move on to teaching the reading of short words. After the student can read 3-4 short words, we work on sentences. Then we move into books. I work with the student to find out where they are at in the process. Then we can move on from there. I don't move on until we have accomplished the skill successfully.

I am patient with students and will keep returning to past lessons to make sure the skill is still working for the student. I try hard to make the lessons about what the student is interested in and keep the lessons varied so they don't get long and drawn out. I will also have the student write so that they can have a chance to read something they wrote. This encourages the student and they will want to learn more.
