[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have 23 years teaching elementary students within FCPS. My MA is in reading and literacy. I don't tutor often, but $40/hr is what I would ask. Sometimes I find that an hour is too long for the little ones and adjust accordingly. [/quote]

In which reading programs do you have certification?[/quote]

Please clarify what you mean by "reading programs". Are you referring to things such as LLI, Literacy, Read Naturally, etc.?[/quote]

Wilson, LMB, Barton, RAV-O[/quote]

I am not cerified in any of those reading programs. Quite frankly, I don't know any of my colleagues who are cerified or even familiar with most of those.[/quote]

They are some of leading programs for targeting the various forms of dyslexia.  It concerns me that a teacher with an [i]MA[/i] in reading and literacy is not familiar with them.  It highlights the problems students with dyslexia have in this area. [/quote]

[b]Is your tutor currently a general ed classroom teacher?[/b][/quote]

The PP, who indicated that she was a teacher for 23 years with a MA in reading and literacy and a reading tutor, said she was not familiar with the programs mentioned.  In addition, she stated incorrectly (and ignorantly) that dyslexia was a severe learning disability when the vast majority of people with dyslexia are in the mild- moderate range.

IME and unfortunately, this is typical in this area.  The lack of knowledge about dyslexia in the schools here is astounding. [/quote]

You didn't answer the question.[/quote]

Answer: I do not have a tutor. [/quote]

Then you are not the one who pays $110/hour to your DD's reading tutor? I would like to know if that person is a general ed classroom teacher.[/quote]

I am 19:42 and believe you are addressing this question to me.  I pay $110/hr for my daughters reading tutor.  In answer to your question, no our tutor is not a general education classroom teacher.  She does work very closely with my daughters classroom teacher and the school reading specialist.  The 3 of them confer via weekly emails (cc to me) about the work that each of them is doing and upcoming concepts that they want to work on with my daughter.   In that way, the 2 interventionists and the teacher are all making sure they are reinforcing the same concepts and building upon what each is teaching.

Ok. This makes sense and is reasonable. It was a different PP who thought classroom teachers should be knowledgeable of the reading programs your tutor utilizes.[/quote]
