About A Tutoring Primer

This course begins with definitions of literacy and then moves to how language and literacy is acquired by young children. The second module highlights the basic areas of reading and writing and how to teach and assess each area. The third module is focused on how to specifically teach reading and writing and includes lesson plans and ideas for adapting instruction to your own needs. Lesson plans are set up for beginner, intermediate, and advanced tutors. The final module covers communicating with families and how to adapt instruction for individual student needs through case study examples. We utilize accompanying videos to assist you with clear examples of instruction and assessment.
