About Jonna
I've always been curious about reading. I was an early reader myself. I came from a home of voracious readers. It was just what we did, along with eating and breathing. Because I was an early reader, that mostly taught herself, I missed out on being taught the reasons why words are formed the way they are. It all seemed random to me, and yet I could easily make sense of it. Only as an adult would I come to understand it wasn't random at all. Learning to teach an Orton Gillingham program has been like learning that old friends have a whole side to them that I never knew. Which is the long vowel again? Why is knowing how to properly divide a word into syllables important? I mean seriously...why do we even care? So we can clap in rhythm with word??? NO, it's because knowing how to divide the word will unlock the secret of pronunciation and spelling. It's like magic. I am fascinated and obsessed. My family tires of hearing me talk about "Kiss the Cat" and "Catch Lunch", and so I need students who I can try to rub some of this literacy excitement onto. When the pandemic hit and we all moved to online classes I wasn't sure how I was going to bring who I am as a teacher to the laptop. I believe in hands-on learning and that building a relationship with my students is fundamental to their learning experience. How on earth is that possible through a computer screen? I've been surprised. It's better than I would have guessed. Having the right software and tools is necessary for teaching Barton successfully online, but having the knowledge of how to BE with students, assess their needs, understand their off days, care about their lives outside of reading, and knowing how to bring all my experiences of being with people to the computer screen has been ESSENTIAL. I could not do online teaching successfully without my experiences working collaboratively with students before Covid 19.

All Lessons are provided online, through Zoom. I share my screen with you while we work together, as if we were at the same table. Time spent with me is a collaborative endeavor. I meet each student where they are and spend time getting to know them personally. Reading can be a social experience. I aim to bring joy to what could otherwise be a dry lesson about syllables.
