The How to Read Book is a program for beginning and struggling readers. Our tutors work one on one with your student to help them achieve reading fluency at or above grade level. Sessions are provided via Zoom video conferencing.
Reading is simple, but it’s not easy. Give your child the best chance at success in early reading by making sure they develop phonological awareness alongside visual word form area processing.
Sounding out words requires the ability to identify, order and discriminate between sounds within words (phonemic awareness) and the ability to ascribe letters to those sounds, in part by being able to envision those letters in the absence of visual stimulus (this involves the visual word form area). Both of these processes must be developed and working in parallel for one to be successful in the basics of reading.
The How to Read Book is designed to help your child develop both phonological awareness and visual word form area processing so that they may achieve reading proficiency at or above grade level.
The program places its goal, the enjoyment of reading, at its center and includes isolated drills to improve specific reading skills. Importantly, your child will develop a relationship with reading alongside a relationship with their tutor.
