📚 Worried your child is memorizing predictable books or word lists instead of truly learning to read? They might look like they’re reading, but when the pictures and patterns disappear, the struggle often begins. 🚨 These are red flags that their school’s reading approach isn’t backed by science—and may be ineffective for 66% of students.

✨ At The Virtual Classroom, we specialize in creating confident, fluent readers. Our teachers are trained in how the brain learns to read using structured literacy—a proven method.

🧠 We equip students with the tools to confidently decode unfamiliar words and succeed long-term. Let’s work together to build a strong reading foundation for your child. 💪📖

🐶📚 My dog is enjoying ‘Dog on a Log’ by Pamela Brookes! Decodable books like this are fantastic for helping early readers build confidence.

📚 Story Time! 📚

Meet my youngest daughter enjoying a beautiful day at the Penn State Arboretum. This place holds a special spot in my heart because it’s part of where my journey in education began.

As a proud Penn State alum, my journey started at a place that was not just close to my heart but also to home—only 30 minutes away from where I grew up. From the moment I set my sights on Penn State in 3rd grade, it was my dream to earn my teaching degree there. It was the only college I applied to, and thankfully, the one that accepted me.

The experience was everything I hoped for and more. Penn State, which is ranked #1 in Pennsylvania and in the top 1% for education students, molded me into the educator I am today, giving me the tools, knowledge, and passion to make a difference in children’s lives.

After 12 years of teaching in public schools, I felt a calling to create something more personal and tailored for students. This led me to start my own business in education, The Virtual Classroom, where I can truly focus on each child’s unique learning needs.

Looking back, I see how every step of my journey, from my childhood dream to my years in public education, has brought me to this fulfilling chapter of empowering young learners in a way I never imagined.

Thank you, Penn State, for being the starting point of this incredible journey. 💙

🔍 "If you've met one person with autism, you've met one person with autism. 🌈 On Autism Awareness Day, let's remember the uniqueness of each individual, just like fingerprints.

💡 Autism, also known as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), is characterized by difficulties in social interaction, communication (both verbal and nonverbal), and repetitive behaviors. According to the DSM-5, the diagnostic criteria include persistent deficits in social communication and interaction, along with restricted, repetitive patterns of behavior. These can manifest in various ways, such as stereotyped movements, insistence on sameness, fixated interests, or sensory sensitivities.

❤️ Let's spread awareness about the diverse spectrum of autism, empower autistic voices, and promote empathy, understanding, and inclusion.

👂 If you are autistic or have a loved one on the spectrum, drop a heart in the comments to show your support!

🎓 Understanding the Learning Pyramid 📚

Ever heard of the Learning Pyramid? It’s that diagram that breaks down different modes of learning, suggesting that more active modalities lead to better retention rates. But here’s the catch: it might not be as straightforward as it seems.

Originally conceived by Edgar Dale as the Cone of Experience, it wasn’t meant to measure retention rates but rather levels of abstraction. However, over time, it morphed into the Learning Pyramid, with percentages attached to each mode of learning.

What’s your take on the Learning Pyramid?

Do you believe its retention rates are accurate or think it’s just an educational myth? Vote below and let us know! 🗳️

📚 Teaching spelling rules empowers young minds!

✨Words like bus and gas are exceptions to the double flsz rule because they are shortened versions of multisyllabic spellings like omnibus and gasoline. Can you think of any others?

If your child navigates spelling challenges, they're not alone. The Virtual Classroom offers tailored support to spark spelling success and boost confidence! 💡📝

Students begin with a diagnostic assessment which pinpoints exact breakdowns in their encoding knowledge. 🧠📋

🔍👩‍🏫 This assessment helps us create appropriate instructional goals and plan a prescriptive structured literacy plan.

The Virtual Classroom is a Private Tutoring Practice located in Perry County, PA. It is within close proximity to Dauphin and Cumberland County.
