What Do I Teach?
Structured Literacy
Structured Literacy is direct, explicit, and multisensory instruction.
It is a specialized approach for learners with Dyslexia, but the approach supports ALL learners on their journey to reading successfully.
​
Mrs.T.Reads! blends the instructional principles of Structured Literacy with engaging online teaching techniques.
​
Mrs.T. Reads! is based on the Monterey Peninsula but, thanks to technology, can reach kids all over the state!

Phonemic Awareness
Reading begins at the youngest ages with learning to hear and manipulate sounds. We begin every session with fast paced phonemic awareness activities.
Fluency
Fluency is the ability to read with natural pace and expression. These are skills that can be taught. Each session will include modeling and practice for fluency.
Phonics
Phonics is the connection between written letters and the sounds they can make. We study letter names, sounds, the various "jobs" of letters, and the 6 syllable types to read and spell.
Vocabulary and Comprehension
The goal of all reading is understanding. We work toward this goal by combining all the learned skills and strategies to understand what is read.
