Description:
One-on-one reading therapy for children and adolescents struggling with various aspects of reading: FLUENCY (speed or rate), COMPREHENSION (understanding and recall of information), DECODING (phonics; relating sounds to letters, looking at how words and phrases are formed, recognizing sight words, focusing on meaning)
The two proven methods Ms. Ellie uses with her students are:
• Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children’s Rite Flight Comprehension and Reading Rate Program
• The Shelton School of Dallas’
Sequential English Education Program (SEE)
Some of the areas these programs address are:
·
· --Directly teaching letter name and sound connection
· --Decoding, comprehension, encoding, oral and written expression
· --Providing direct instruction in identifying patterns of the English language
· --Strong emphasis on auditory skill development
· --Utilizing a memory board to address visual, auditory, kinesthetic and tactile learning
