Which Skills are Taught?
The Goals
When I partner with the individual child or adult, I teach each person "how to learn" and the
skills needed to close the achievement gap. My students master both the academic and the
organizational skills they will need to learn new skills as they progress in school and in life.
Unlike tutoring or group remedial lessons, my educational therapy approach, based upon "tried and
true" science-based methods, is uniquely tailored to each student who then learns to turn
struggles into successes.
The Specific Skills
- Reading: phonemic awareness, reading words (decoding), fluency, comprehension, vocabulary
- Spelling: rules and strategies

- Self-awareness - personalized "learn how to learn" techniques
