Should You Try Remote Tutoring For Your Struggling Reader?
EVERYTHING is going online. Employers are requiring employees to work from home via video chat and email. Schools have sent children home and are trying distance learning.
What about your struggling reader? Did your child receive intervention services at school, but now he’s at home and it could be weeks or months before they resume? Won’t your child fall even further behind in reading if he’s not getting help?
There is help and hope for struggling readers with remote tutoring! How does it work?
Contact us to schedule a consultation via phone or video chat. We’ll talk about your child’s academic progress, report cards, testing, etc. to see if your child would benefit from our services. Then we’ll pair you with the right tutor based on your child’s needs and personality. You’ll need a fast computer, mouse, and headphones – and your child can get started!
Tutoring takes place twice a week for an hour. Your child will see his tutor via video chat, and the tutor will teach the exact same lessons with Whizzimo, all from the comfort and safety of your home! Tutoring sessions are individual, so your child will learn at his pace. He will begin to master reading and spelling skills that were once so difficult.
Remote tutoring lessons are exactly the same as in-person lessons.
Students enjoy working from home!

Isn’t Dyslexia Seeing Words Backwards?
Parents commonly ask me, “Isn’t dyslexia seeing words backwards?” The simple answer is no, it is not seeing words backwards.Dyslexia affects sequencing, or putting information in order. Spelling is a sequential activity – the letters of a word must be in the right order to be spelled correctly. Someone who is dyslexic may have a…
“Not my child.”
Parents, let me speak for a minute as a classroom teacher. Your bright, elementary-age child has been in my class all year, and we’re nearing the end of the school year. You and I have met for conferences twice, and we’ve sent numerous emails back and forth regarding your child’s lack of reading progress. I’ve…
‘Tis the Season… for Standardized Tests
As a teacher, I had a love/hate relationship with standardized tests. I hated the amount of time they took away from teaching. I hated how low scores made children (and parents!) feel badly.
Guest Post: Journalism Professor Emeritus Colleen Callahan
This blog post is contributed by Journalism Professor Emeritus of University of Wisconsin-River Falls, Colleen Callahan. As a journalism professor for 23 years, I found it heartbreaking to encounter students who were passionate about reporting, had high ethical standards and natural story-telling instincts, yet struggled with reading and writing. I remember one student in particular….
The Best Reading Instruction
It’s the late 1990’s. Too many American children are failing to learn how to read. The situation becomes so desperate, Congress asks the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) to form the National Reading Panel to investigate and determine the best way to teach children to read. How did our nation get…
Your Child Needs This Tool
Do any of these statements describe your child? Your dyslexic child is making progress with reading, but his independent reading pace is slow. Your child’s school’s reading assignments grow longer as your child grows older, and homework takes hours to complete. Your child loves to hear stories read aloud, but you don’t have the time…
The Key to Success
Your child has been through so much. Tier 1, tier 2, tier 3 interventions. Sylvan, Kumon, Huntington. Occupational therapy, small group reading interventions, progress monitoring. Everyone seems to have their own ideas of what will work. But what is it that really makes a difference in your child’s progress?/p> It’s simple – individualization. That’s the…
Accidental Plurals
“Please pass the salt.” The word please is in every English speaker’s vocabulary from the time he is able to speak. The word please opens doors. It increases the likelihood that a request will be granted. It indicates good manners and good upbringing (so important in the South where I am living!). But why is there a silent…
“Let’s just keep an eye on it.”
Let’s imagine these two scenarios for a minute. Your car is making a funny noise. You take it to your mechanic, who says, “I’ve seen this kind of thing before, but I have no idea how to fix it. It’ll probably stop soon enough.” Your child is sick. You take him to the doctor, who…
Praise for the Power of Poetry
Poetry. Poetry was those flowery, obscure verses my high school English teacher insisted we read and try to interpret. I remember those days of the teacher asking, “What do you think it means?” I really didn’t know and hoped my guess got close enough to the author’s original intent to earn me an A so…
