WHAT WORD SLAYER IS

Slaying words, one part at a time.

The English language can feel like an enormous, unpredictable beast - especially for a child who processes it differently.  Word Slayer is built on one simple but powerful idea:  break the beast into its smallest parts, master each one, and nothing is impossible.

This isn't a class about memorizing rules.  It's about building a deep understanding of how language works - so your child can read fluently, write confidently, and communicate without the struggle that has held them back.

Every session uses a multi-sensory approach:  movement, art, visual prompts, hands-on materials, and sound - because real learning sticks when more than one sense is engaged.  Students also build their own personalized reference tools (a Language Arts Binder, Vowel Chart, Affix Chart, and Grammar Chart) that they keep and use long after their class ends.

HOW I TEACH

The principles behind the practice

Every Word Slayer session is built around principles that put your child's success - not the curriculum's pace - at the center.

• Teach to a level of success:  I work alongside students until they can find success independently - never leaving them stranded.

• Small, slow steps:  no one learns to swim by drowning.  We build skills in manageable pieces that lead to real mastery.

• Multi-sensory learning:  art, movement, tactile materials, sound, games, and visual prompts all work together to make learning stick.

• Always moving forward, never moving on:  constant review ensures nothing falls through the cracks before the next concept is introduced.

• A safe and challenging environment:  students are free to try, fail, and grow without fear of criticism - because confidence is built here too.

• Student-owned resources:  every child builds their own reference tools to take home, cementing ownership of their learning.
