Narrative Structure -Beginning
Narrative structure is sometimes difficult for student to create even though exposure to story telling begins at an early age. This Narrative orientation structure guides the student through each component of the structure using details to sustain the reader's interest.
This structure can be used with children from Year One to High School. The explicit visual scaffold helps children to create fabulous stories.

Teaching style
I teach according to the needs and learning styles of my students.
Particularly, I love to teach through the children's interests if at all possible.
In my practice I use a multi-sensory approach, lots of rehearsal and fun. Using the research from Vygotsky, I begin teaching from where the student is "stuck". Then I go to the zone of proximal development. This means that I am an observer and a guide on the side.

Additional biographical information
My passion is teaching young children to read, write and spell. Children are like sponges and learn easily.
When teaching year ones and twos it is possible to teach them as a whole class and gain high scores.
