On-Line Reading Intervention with
Learning Foundations
What is online training?
Online training is done in a one-on-one setting with a trainer much like an in-person session.
During the session the student can:
- See and hear the trainer
- Follow a student workbook through screen share
- Apply the use of manipulatives (letter tiles)
- Draw on the screen, write and type as required.
What happens in a lesson? In an online lesson, your child will participate in a variety of activities: The trainer presents new concepts and instruction in using movable, colored letter tiles on the screen The trainer prompts the student who then applies the rules and uses the tiles to read and spell words (research has shown that this is one of the best ways to learn to read) The student applies the rules by reading and spelling words, phrases, and sentences, and by reading short stories which are visible on the screen The trainer provides correction and immediate feedback as the student applies these rules Both the trainer and the student can mark on the screen to highlight areas of difficulty The student and trainer can see and hear each other and interact throughout the lesson, just as if they were sitting side by side.
