Not a Program
Lu does not deliver a set program. Rather, she chooses from a range of evidence-based strategies and resources to suit each learner's style and needs. These include strategies to blend and segment sounds, learn spellings, unpack spellings, identify meaningful parts in a sentence, plan and edit writing, craft paragraphs and essays. For maths, it may involve unpacking understandings, modelling concepts and processes, reviewing and applying a range of calculation strategies.
Informal, but Focused
Lu thinks it is important that learners feel relaxed, liked and competent. While her style is informal, her work is focused on the both the gaps and strengths she observes in her students. 30 or 50-minute sessions are provided in a warm, simple room in Trevallyn, Launceston.
