“The Nuts and Bolts of Reading” workshop participant
The tutoring sessions are action oriented with auditory, visual, and kinaesthetic elements reinforcing each other for optimal learning.
In every lesson, the child experiences a high degree of success and gains confidence as well as skill. Learning becomes a rewarding and happy experience.
As children learn new material, they continue to review old material to the level of automaticity.
Children begin by reading and writing sounds in isolation. They then blend the sounds into syllables and words. Children learn the elements (building blocks) of language.
The child learns spelling simultaneously with reading.
The tutor addresses vocabulary, sentence structure, composition, and reading comprehension in a similar structured, sequential, and cumulative manner.
Children learn and study the many generalizations and rules that govern the English language structure. They also learn how best they can apply the language knowledge necessary for achieving reading and writing competencies.
Always being flexible, the tutor seeks to understand how an individual learns and devises appropriate strategies.
Tutoring is provided free of charge to those families and children enrolled in the program.
