"I have been trained to teach in small steps, and gradually add bigger steps once the child has mastered the lower level content--this reduces anxiety, helps with ADHD and increase student's retention of learning. I understand we all learn differently, and if kids can't learn the way we teach, we must teach the way they learn."
"Reading comprehension involves making the reader care about the lesson in the story, and the characters. This is done by helping the child relate the story to their own lives. I also pause to ask questions as I read together. This creates curiosity and helps to assess comprehension along the way."
"Writing: I am able to elicit details from children, and get them to enjoy writing by creating unique characters or stories, sometimes using pictures and images to boost their imagination. The structure of using an outline helps kids who don't know where to begin, to start writing. I am a great speller and I know the importance of giving sensitive feedback with spelling and grammar mistakes." -Debbie Scacco, M.S.
