Yes- I would be happy to have up to groups of 3.
While we cover the same concepts, we shift activities quickly, and I build in game play for younger students. Some reading games include "guess my rule," "guess my word," "roll and read," "roll and spell," and word tic- tac-toe. I also incentivize student learning and performance with activities of choice at the end of session.
My teaching practices align with the science of reading as well as research that has been done on multisensory learning programs such as Wilson Reading and Orton Gillingham.
Absolutely! I have worked with many adults who are eager to improve their reading and writing skills for improved communication socially or at work.
