Reading Intervention Class: 2-3 grades (1 & 4th upon evaluation) Instructor: Rayna Foster
Tuition and Fees: Tuition plus $15/semester materials and copy fee
Course Description: Is your child a reluctant or struggling reader? Or, are they slowly developing into a reader, but could use some extra instruction and practice? This course will help “the lightbulb” turn on and provide an opportunity for students to build on any previous knowledge they have of phonics, reading, spelling, and writing to enhance reading abilities. We will utilize the University of Florida Literacy Institute’s UFLI Foundations curriculum. While UFLI is ideal for students with dyslexia, any young readers will benefit from this instruction! The skills taught in this program drastically decrease reading, spelling, and pronunciation errors while building reading fluency and comprehension. Teacher-led instruction uses multisensory lessons to help every student understand each skill needed to read the English language and helps struggling students (including those with dyslexia) build the brain connections needed to make sense of reading.
Instructor Background: I am a trained reading interventionist (coach), and I previously taught public elementary school (2nd and 4th grades) for five years. During this time I worked with a large number of English Language Learners and students with dyslexia. Both in graduate school and during my years in the classroom, I focused my training on the Science of Reading and reading disabilities. After the pandemic, I transitioned to working in the home and have tutored students of various ages in reading. I enjoy playing board games, reading (for pleasure, and to learn new things) and spending time with my family!
