Initial Reading Consultation
30 minutes - $85
Meet with Victoria for a reading diagnostic and assessment for elementary-aged students. During the assessment, Victoria will determine the student’s current reading level through reading out loud, phonics activities and comprehension questions. As a follow up, Victoria will make a list of book recommendations for independent reading based on the student’s reading level, grade, and interests.
Reading Sessions
60 minutes - $120
* must complete initial consult to book this session
After an initial reading consultation, schedule personalized reading sessions with Victoria to improve reading skills and comprehension. Victoria and the student will read a book at the student’s instructional level, with a focus on letter sounds, phonics, and sounding out words in order to improve confidence in reading and overall fluency.
Throughout the session, we will also discuss literary elements and complete grade-appropriate writing assignments related to the book. These sessions are for all students including those who may be behind and are trying to catch up to grade level, or for students who are looking for an extra challenge.
