Grow With Phonics 101
Children's reading success is dependent upon their understanding of phonics. It is important to understand that letters and letter patterns represent sounds of spoken language. Phonics instruction teaches the relationship between letters of written language and the sounds of spoken language. This working knowledge is the foundation of all great readers.
Good Reader Reading Strategies
Reading longer texts can be a challenge for some scholars. This course teaches scholars 3 different reading strategies they can use to help them break down the text and comprehend what they are reading. These reading strategies are research based and will help scholars improve their reading comprehension.
1 : 1 Tutoring
We offer one on one tutoring sessions. All sessions are individualized and designed to meet the specific needs of each scholar. Before sessions we conduct theory based assessments with each scholar to collect data and determine the scholar's academic and social needs. Academic plans are created and tailored to meet the scholars needs during each session.
The Writer's Focus
Many scholars struggle with translating their thoughts into meaningful words. The Writers' Focus course teaches scholars how to analyze writing prompts, articulate their thoughts, and find evidence to support their writing. Writing strategies are shared with scholars and practiced repeatedly to build writing focus and confidence.
