We use the Playberry Multisensory Literacy Program to offer and provide a high quality and affordable individualised
learning and tutoring program based on each indvidual's needs.
Each student is assessed and we create the learning program and lesson plans which are built around Multi-Sensory teaching.
Our aim is that if one way of processing information fails, another kicks in to help:
if the word cannot be spelt out aloud,
the student may write the word correctly,
explicit teaching of spelling and maths rules, sounds and blends.
The initial lesson is booked for 1 and a 1/2 hours.
We start with several testing exercises so that we can introduce the student to learning in a multi-sensory way whilst building a tutor and
student respect. We do start at the very beginning because each teaching point builds on the previous lesson, tutorial and homework.
Each session is one hour on 1 day a week during school terms. Holiday tutoring is by request, but is generally not
advisable as students need their break and holiday time as schoolwork is hard work for them... all the time.
During classes and throughout the program, the tutor is continually reviewing and looking for:
how well the student is grasping the concepts,
what concepts are locked into permanent memory,
determining what concepts are needing guidance, and finally,
checking to see if there are concepts which may need to be re-taught.
Work is not marked with a red pen. These students have seen far too much of that colour and for most, it is upsetting
to see a low grade mark after all the hard work and effort put in trying to achieve a good result.
Students are given the opportunity to correct their work, whilst the tutor makes notes for future reference and re-teaching.
Benchmark testing is scheduled at a time when the tutor sees that the student is ready to be tested. We test what student DOES know and learnt and celebrate
achievement.
Likewise, we continue to test what the student DOES NOT know and struggle with and continue to teach and build on previous work.
The Playberry Program continually references:
"Teach as fast as necessary, as slow as needed."
"Keep Calm - and Re-Teach - because that's what we do!"
This is why multi-sensory learning works!
