I'm a Learning Support Teacher, with a ton of experience in reading intervention and behaviour support. I love helping kids learn new things, especially when it's hard for them.
For decoding and spelling, I use a structured, explicit, multi-sensory instruction style aligned with the Science of Reading. For reading comprehension, it's important to build oral fluency, background knowledge, transformational skills, and metacognition. For numeracy, I recommend starting with concrete objects, creating multiple entry points, and using math to solve problems.
