She dedicated her time and money to creating the Discover
Intensive Phonics for Yourself
reading system and spent many years
tutoring individual students, training teachers, and educating parents on her method.
Specifically, this study underscores the importance of key components for ensuring quality
tutoring for the America
Reads Challenge: (a) the use of research - based instructional elements to produce significant progress in
reading achievement; (b) the need for a well - structured lesson plan in which the content and delivery of instruction are carefully planned; (c) the need for
intensive, ongoing training and supervision of
tutoring under the guidance of a knowledgeable
reading specialist; (d) the need for frequent and regular
tutoring sessions; and (e) the need for careful evaluation, assessment, monitoring and reinforcement of progress.
I reinforce her teaching, for example, by holding
intensive one - on - one or small - group
tutoring sessions in subjects such as math,
reading, and writing.
