Hello, I'm Mrs. Deanna, a dedicated homeschool educator and tutor. As a Multiply Neurodivergent Adult (Gifted, Dyslexic, and ADHD), I understand the unique challenges and strengths that come with neurodiversity. Despite my own learning differences, I mastered reading through phonics in 1998 and have since completed structured literacy training to teach my own children successfully.

I graduated high school with honors, won multiple writing contests, and am a self-published author of two books: "The Imperfect Advocate" and "Astronomical Learning." Having personally navigated literacy and math challenges within my family, I'm passionate about helping others develop the essential skills of reading, writing, and arithmetic.

I am committed to supporting real people in learning valuable skills and achieving their educational goals. I offer tutoring sessions through the TakeLessons platform using Google Meet, providing a convenient and effective online learning experience.

Welcome to the structured literacy-based reading and writing class designed for middle school students in grades 6th through 8th. This class has been crafted with an aim to strengthen the reading, writing, and spelling skills of middle school students.

Mrs. Deanna personally understands the current illiteracy crisis happening due to students only being exposed to Balance Literacy in school. 

What most parents aren't safe of is the historical aspects of Structured literacy. 

It is a research-based approach that incorporates systematic and explicit instruction, emphasizing upon phonological awareness, decoding skills, vocabulary development, oral language development, sentence structure, and comprehension. 

Reading and writing is a reciprocal relationship in education. If students can read a word they can spell a word. If they're having issues with spelling and writing, they may need help with reading as well. 

The curriculum for this reading and writing class includes various instructional materials that cater to the individual needs of the students. The digital materials used are comprehensive and engaging, providing an ideal learning environment for middle schoolers.

By joining the structured literacy-based reading and writing class, your child will develop confidence and skills in areas such as sentence structure, syntax, vocabulary usage, punctuation marks, grammar usage in written communication. 

Additionally, they will also learn how to plan their ideas effectively and present them coherently in written assignments.

We aim to provide our students with personalized feedback to further enhance their progress while maintaining a supportive and constructive classroom environment.

Neuroscience research has found no evidence that matching instruction to preferred styles improves learning. Teachers and tutors can spread misinformation about the brain that leads to false conclusions. You can have a preference for how you like to learn. Yet claiming to only learn through one mode such as visual or auditory is unhelpful. Humans use 100% of the entire brain to learn something new. Neurons in different parts of the brain communicate with each other. Help share this information and help debunk this neuromyth of Learning Styles. 

Did you know Learning Styles are a Neuromyth?

You might have hired a tutor that expected your student to memorize a list of sight words. That's not me. I love structured literacy and explicit instruction because when you teach students phonics and the alphabetic code, they don't have to guess on the page. This also helps me use data and my assessments to understand where your child is at in their reading development and if they need more practice in CVC words to be able to decode a multisyllabic word. 

Do I use memorization? The Answer is NO!

Read Alouds are beneficial to ANY AGE! 

Elementary school it's great for print awareness. 
Middle school it's great for teachers to model how to read more advanced materials.
High school it's great for teachers and more advanced students can model how to read different types of materials. 

Elementary, middle school, and high school also can adapt different plays to model and practice reading fluency and comprehension.
