Each week, students participate in a 45-minute, one-on-one structured literacy lesson with me. Following the session, I assign targeted online practice for at least 15 minutes, four days per week. This ongoing practice reinforces new skills, while I track progress and collect data to identify mastery and areas needing continued support.
