LITERACY REMEDIATION

 Using an assessment and intervention approach, Jessica meets her students where they are at in their learning. Each session is tailor made to fit the particular child's strengths and needs. Learning interventions may include work surrounding: phonics, decoding, reading fluency, reading or writing stamina, language/reading comprehension, vocabulary and writing skills. Jessica utilizes several literacy curricula and approaches including: IMSE (Institute for Multisensory Education), Orton Gillingham's PAF, Fundations, Heggerty, Words Their Way and Teachers College Reading & Writing Project. Once she meets your student, Jessica will create an individualized learning plan.

​

One-on-one and small group sessions available.

This service is available to children in preschool through grade 6

LITERACY ENRICHMENT

Personalized literacy enrichment sessions are focused on growing your child's literacy skills beyond the classroom. Literacy enrichment provides extended learning opportunities and challenges to students who have already mastered the curriculum. Enrichment gives the student more time to study concepts with greater depth, breadth, and complexity.

WHAT CLIENTS ARE SAYING...

Home: Testimonials

"Jessica changed our lives. We have two very different children who both needed help with literacy and language skills. Jessica took the time to get to know them, their interests, their strengths and their needs. After just a short time of working with Jessica, they were performing significantly better in reading, writing and language! In fact, one of my kids went from being a full grade behind in reading to now being ahead of his class! Jessica has instilled a newfound confidence in our kids and they are shining so brightly in school because of her work."
