Language Rules Tutoring

Goal: To remove your struggles with written and oral expression, and replace them with the confident ability to use language to reason, discuss, and express ideas.

In Language Rules, we expand knowledge and skills in handwriting and spelling by building your own learning log that contains your lists of analyzed spelling words and numerous reference pages and we expand confidence and experience in reading and writing through systematic activities that build your mastery of these complex skills.

The core of these tutoring sessions is built around the strong foundation of Romalda Spaulding’s “Spelling to Write and Read” program. I used this program to teach all my kids how to read and write and spell in the 80’s and 90’s. They are all gifted in communication and I credit this program as a big part of that. Instead of memorizing lists of spelling words, we follow a systematic process of spelling word dictation where we analyze each word by breaking it down into syllables and sounds, and then applying the rules of English spelling to represent those syllables and sounds on paper. This process not only results in a better ability to comprehend what we read and express ourselves in writing, but it also builds logic and critical thinking skills which can be used and applied in a variety of other subject areas.

Both print and cursive handwriting are taught and mastered in these tutoring sessions because BOTH methods of handwriting are necessary and useful.

Whether your child is just starting to learn their ABCs, or they have reached a point where they are struggling with reading/spelling/writing—these tutoring sessions will help them grow and succeed.
