Literacy Support
Veronica tailors literacy services to student's current needs based on a combination of diagnostic assessments, record and evaluation review, and observation. She works with students in grades 2 through college on a variety of different literacy tasks. She supports younger learners with instruction on phonological awareness skills and strategies for fluency as well as a foundation of grammar for strong written expression. When there is a strong foundation of basic reading skills then lessons can shift to more complex tasks including critical analysis and essay formation. Veronica also cultivates a joy of reading by showing it can be accessible to everyone.
If your child has dyslexia, Veronica recommends 1:1 Orton Gillingham sessions.
