Unlocking Success: The Ultimate Dyslexia Tutoring Kit for Online Learning
One question that parents frequently ask is if online tutoring is effective. When done well, online tutoring is highly effective and interactive. I am not just a dyslexia practitioner, but I am a former elementary teacher and parent to three lively kids (one of whom has dyslexia).
I believe strongly in the necessity of hands-on and engaging activities. The brain learns best when it is having fun. Short, frequent, fun and interactive tasks promote the best long-term gains. The thing that makes my tutoring special is that every bit of it is hands-on and multisensory, even though it is completely done online.
Through my low-tech approach, students interact with me during the lesson, doing the same things as using the same resources that I used for in-person teaching and tutoring. Although we meet in a Zoom room, the entire lesson is one-on-one and interactive. I change and adjust my teaching as we go through the lesson.
My lessons are planned specifically for each student based upon the one before it. Although I follow the Wilson Reading System scope and sequence, each student has an entirely different experience based on what they specifically need.
With that being said, I ensure that my lessons are highly impactful by sending each student a Materials Kit with different hands-on materials in it. The video below highlights the items in the kit.
Materials Overview:
While each of my Materials Kit is tailored to the specific child, let's take a closer look at the general materials included in my dyslexia tutoring kit:
Student Reading Materials: Tailored reading materials designed to support dyslexic learners, such as Step Readers from Wilson, a Challenge book from Just Words, or curated passages chosen for your child’s specific level.
Whiteboard with Markers: A versatile tool for visualizing concepts, practicing writing, and engaging in interactive games and activities during tutoring sessions.
Magnetic Letter Board: Ideal for hands-on spelling and word-building exercises, promoting tactile learning experiences.
Magnetic Letter Tiles: Colorful tiles that can be manipulated to form words, helping students visualize and understand spelling patterns. I also include a special ruler on which to build words.
Magnetic Board with Blank Letter and Syllable Tiles: For more advanced students who don’t require letter sound work, I provide blank tiles in which to build syllables.
Index Cards: Useful for creating flashcards or personalized study aids, facilitating memory retention and reinforcement of key concepts.
Skills Charts: Laminated charts which provide a visual reference for use during our lessons and at other times as needed.
Additional Items: Various tools such as a bumpy board for a tactile textures, star stamps for students to mark pages completed in their books, and crayons.
Because of the individualized nature of my lessons, student materials differ based upon their needs.
Additional Requirements: In addition to the provided materials, students will need access to a reliable computer or tablet equipped with a camera and microphone for virtual tutoring sessions via Zoom. A stable internet connection is essential for uninterrupted learning experiences.
By equipping dyslexic learners with the right tools and resources, I can empower them to overcome obstacles and achieve academic success. At The Successful Reader Tutoring, I'm committed to providing comprehensive support and personalized instruction to every student I serve.
