Cook’s Online Fall Fun Educational Series Schedule Posted on — Leave a comment
The launch of my ELBERT™ classes went very well this summer 2020 with a few classes! I’m offering many more tutoring sessions, intervention and enrichment classes as well as evaluations! Please look for my other classes (BELOW) just added classes for Gifted students, emergent readers, and an extra Ultimate spelling help class!
If you’re on OUTSCHOOL- times vary from below], if you want to learn about my other classes and/or individual help go to www.myelbert.com or https://myelberteveryonelearnsbetterembracingrevolutionaryteaching.com/2020/07/11/cooks-fall-fun-educational-series/ for more information.
In my classes and sessions, I cover the affirmations of strengths of having a neurodifference and view them as “gifts” such as we are highly intelligent and have the ability to use tools and strategies to compensate for struggles to read, write, or spell. We may excel at thinking of “outside the box” solutions, seeing a problem from many different sides, and spatial relationships along with the ability to think in 3 dimensions. We often have intuitive and insightful, well-developed social awareness and emotions while possessing a lexicon of words to help with the synonymous “whys of dyslexia”. We also have deep and holistic, list-form thinking, problem-solving, and building/constructing abilities, computer skills, and gaming strategies. Lastly, we seek out endeavors of creative, imaginative, visual, artistic, and visionary skills while taking on inventing and innovating pursuits.

ANNOUNCEMENT NOV. 2020
NEW INTERVENTION CLASS STARTING
January 12, 2020
Description: I have a checklist of spelling markers and traits that describes what dyslexic spelling looks like. It’s plain and simple: The middle sounds even though in the middle position is the last to be processed. The last sound even though is the last position is the second to be processed. Since language sound processing is needed for spelling, you will observe them misspelling in mainly in middle position, then last position by doing omissions (leading to deletions, additions, substitutions, repetitions)!!!!. The students will asses themselves which markers and traits they may do when spelling; this will have them become aware of what they do and in which position of a word. They will be presented Reading & Spelling Rules which, in turn, will help eradicate some spelling errors.
