Hello Everyone!  This class is an engaging and interactive reading course designed specifically for children based on the science of reading. The science of reading is a research-based approach that draws upon cognitive science, linguistics, and educational psychology to understand how individuals learn to read and how best to teach reading effectively. This course provides a comprehensive overview of the key principles and strategies associated with this evidence-based approach. This course is aimed at fostering a love for reading while equipping young learners with the foundational skills necessary for reading success. Through a variety of fun activities, stories, and games, children will embark on an exciting adventure to become confident and proficient readers.

During our first session I will administer a reading assessment to determine the learner's reading level. Once their reading level is determined I will create personalized lessons to strengthen their reading skills.

We will meet twice a week.
