Introduction: Welcome! I am so glad that you are here.
My name is Rebecca Armstrong. I am a first-grade teacher with a passion for teaching kids to read. I work closely every year with students who struggle with reading. I also work closely with the parents of these students.
I see how frustrated and overwhelmed these parents feel. The expectations for reading are very high, and I know firsthand that teachers do not always get to spend as much time with each and every one of our students as we would like.
I want to give parents an opportunity for their child to receive some extra help over track out. I am offering a one week reading and writing camp in my home. I am only accepting four students for the week to allow more one-on-one time with students. If there is greater demand, then I will add another week.
The camp will be 3 hours per day for 5 days. We will focus on reading and reading comprehension as well as phonemic awareness and writing skills. The lessons will be tailored to meet the needs of the students in the camp.
I will use your child's report card comments, class data, and notes from parent- teacher conferences to create the lessons. Students will work one-on-one with me and in a small group setting to enhance their reading and writing skills.
