What I like best is the way Kathy shares so many great books with all our children. She gives them the confidence to read books that are new and interesting. Kathy really sparks their interest while teaching them great reading strategies to improve their reading both at school and most importantly real-life reading. I am impressed how she shares so many good life lessons in her reading and writing lessons too.
I remember when we were planning a trip to London, she shared great books about London that really enriched their trip. We thank her for being so accommodating to our family lifestyle and she sets up great lessons both in our backyard and in our home for our children. When teaching our youngest son Phillip to stay focused while reading, Kathy motivates and sets clear high expectations for him to read challenging books. She has so many great reading enrichment activities! It encourages him to become a more responsible, active reader, while enjoying new books and learning helpful strategies to read at school and home too.
All my children are having success at school! They have all improved their reading and learning real reading strategies for real life reading experiences. Thank you for everything.
A very positive experience for my daughter. Kathy Dunham brought so many tools and resources to the table. My daughter was motivated by the valuable reading resources and engaging materials at each session. Kathy’s lessons encouraged her to read books she likes carefully and improved her strategies for reading challenges. She enjoyed the interactive home book bags filled with great books and reading enrichment activities. We really appreciated the flexibility of one-to-one sessions and virtual learning. Kathy’s rich experiences and blended approach really grabbed her attention. Very successful approach helping to improve her reading!
Adrianna loved reading with you and I'm so thankful you were able to share your love of reading with her. I will absolutely pass on your information as well. Thank you so much 💕
Kathleen Dunham has been a wonderful tutor for our child. Although our son has, thus far, proven to be more of a “numbers kid” than a “words kid”, Ms. Dunham worked diligently to reignite his desire to read,such that Soren now loves exploring a range of books -- from dinosaurs to robots, from birds to Pokemon -- with his parents, his sister, and, best of all, by himself.
Along with an easy-going air, Ms. Dunham brings a wealth of experience that engages and focuses on the task of improving her student’s reading and writing. Meeting with Soren for thrice-weekly hour-long sessions for four weeks, Ms. Dunham covered Active Reading, Informational Reading,Fluency, Vocabulary, Making Meaning, Reading and Writing Connections, Making Inferences, Sight Words/Snap Words, and more.
As they tackled 26 books, including titles by Christine Peterson (Groovy Gems; Fantastic Fossils), Millicent E. Selsam (How Kittens Grow), Kevin Henkes (Kitten’s First Full Moon; Little White Rabbit), and Cynthia Rylant (Henry and Mudge and the Happy Cat; Whales), it became increasingly apparent that Soren was making impressive progress.
In addition to being enthusiastic, engaging, and thoroughly prepared at her sessions—sessions our son truly enjoyed attending—Ms. Dunham gave usvaluable updates and feedback following each lesson. Now Soren is, as he puts it,“reading like a scientist” and we could not be happier.
We highly recommend Kathleen Dunham as a tutor.
