I implement a personalized approach to suit each child's individual needs. In fiction writing, we can focus on the six traits of writing, which include organization, content, voice, flow, sentence and paragraph structure, grammar, and syntax. For non-fiction writing, we begin with logic and reasoning. Debating is a fantastic way to develop children's interest in expository writing. Through oral debate, children will learn to sharpen their logical reasoning skills. We will transition into structured writing that emphasizes clear and robust reasoning. Your child's progress will be measured and tracked regularly to ensure steady growth.

We use proven methods such as CARS and STARS to improve reading comprehension, focusing on developing reading strategies in 12 core areas. We will find highly engaging material to motivate your child to read more. We can also use a word study approach to learn word families and spelling patterns. Their progress will be objectively tracked over time to show their improvement.

I am available to meet with your child either at my home in Ann Arbor, a local library, or your home, depending on your location. Watch your child's writing and reading skills blossom as we work to achieve their goals!
