Literacy & Numeracy

More than 10 years experience

Early literacy and Numeracy skills form an important part of your child's development. But first, permit me to take you through Literacy.

Literacy is the basis for your child's ability to read, write, communicate, and socialize. Literacy development is a vital part of a child's overall development. It is the foundation for doing well at school, socializing with others, and developing independence.

I make my Literacy lessons fun and engaging. One of my teaching approaches is the phonics method. Depending on the age of the child(ren), I teach them the sound of the letters and letter formation (writing). I teach the children to pair sounds with letters and blend them together to master the skill of decoding. Then I use 'the whole word approach.' There are words that cannot be spelt through sound. They are called sight words or tricky words. Examples are I, you, the, he, she, etc. I put these words on flashcards and introduce these words bit by bit. Through repeated exposure to the words, they are able to learn them. Games and songs/ rhymes are useful approaches to early literacy skill development so I use them as well.

Numeracy is the ability to reason and to apply numerical concepts. Basic Numeracy skills consist of comprehending fundamental arithmetics like addition, subtraction multiplication, and division. It helps skills such as problem-solving. Introducing math to children from an early age helps them develop their understanding of all elements of problem-solving and reason in a broad range of contexts.

You can be sure that I will help your child build strong Numeracy and Literacy skills.

Kelechi also teaches:

Levels taught: Nursery, Primary, Jss, Sss and Adult

Teaching Curriculum: Nigerian, British

I use Nigeria and British curriculum effectively. I'm familiar with KSG 1 and 2 of the British curriculum. I love the British curriculum as it takes care of the 360° academic needs.

Lessons hold at your home

When you book lessons, Kelechi will usually travel anywhere at most 5km (~ 30mins drive ) from Sholuyi to deliver lessons.
