Succeeding in Reading with Mrs. Manning
is a dedicated tutoring service, specializing in
one-on-one, in-person instruction for students
facing challenges in reading and spelling.
I have over 23 years of experience teaching elementary and junior high students in public, private, and homeschool settings. I am currently a Foundations in Sounds and Barton Reading and Spelling instructor.
I graduated from Biola University with a degree in Business.
I earned a teaching credential from the University of La Verne.
My husband and I have been married for over 30 years and are the parents of 10 biological and adopted kids.
I love reading, doing puzzles, watching anything Jane Austen, working on my 45-year-old dollhouse, vacationing at our family's cabin near Sequoia, and savoring dark chocolate.
Foundations in Sounds is a precursor to the Barton Reading and Spelling System. Both are based on the Orton-Gillingham method and use a systematic and multi-sensory approach to reading where phonemic awareness, phonics, decoding, and mastery are foundational.
Any student can benefit from this approach, especially those who struggle with reading and spelling, and are frustrated with traditional methods that rely on sight words, drills, and "just sounding it out."
Several of my own children with dyslexia were taught how to read and spell using the Barton method and their reading and confidence improved tremendously!
Private tutoring sessions are in-person at a local library* where I work with each student in a study room or at a quiet table. *Local libraries include Norwalk Library, La Mirada Public Library, South Whittier Library, Whittwood Branch Library, and Brea Branch OC Library.
Students age 6-7: one-on-one tutoring sessions at least twice a week (Mondays-Fridays) for 45 minutes each session. Tutoring fee: $33/session
Students age 8-17: one-on-one tutoring sessions at least twice a week (Mondays-Fridays) for 1 hour each session. Tutoring fee: $40/session
I look forward to meeting you and your student! Text me: 562-242-6577 or email me: succeedingNreading@gmail.com
