We understand the foundational importance of early literacy. Our specialized tutoring programs are designed to support students from kindergarten through fourth grade, covering all critical aspects of reading and writing development.
Phonemic Awareness and Phonics: We begin with the basics by enhancing phonemic awareness—helping children understand how letters are linked to sounds. This foundation is crucial for developing decoding skills, which we strengthen through targeted phonics instruction.
Chunking and Word Recognition: As students progress, we focus on chunking strategies to improve word recognition. This technique breaks down words into manageable units, making reading more approachable and less daunting for young learners.
Fluency and Comprehension: Our teachers work diligently to improve reading fluency, ensuring that students can read smoothly at an appropriate pace. More importantly, we emphasize reading comprehension, teaching students to extract meaning from text and apply it to their own experiences.
