Ready to Read Program

“Teaching Children to Learn to Read so they can Read to Learn
Our Ready to Read program helps children form literacy skills as early as possible. We promote skill building, communication and language skills for students in Grades K-12.  Lessons align with Common Core State Standards.

Our Philosophy:
We believe the ability to read is important to every child’s success in school. As each child is unique, it is important to keep in mind that learning to read is different for every child. We give children the necessary reading and writing skills to make them better readers and writers.

We focus on a school readiness in-depth understanding of what children need to be successful in school. Early literacy is a fundamental right and our duty is to empower children with the ability to take on learning for themselves. Our literacy lessons are taught in a positive classroom environment that feels safe and comfortable to the students. We meet the child’s learning needs and find strategies that best serves the child’s learning style. Small reading groups are developed so that each child receives personal guidance. We individualize goals for each child to ensure that each child makes progress towards becoming a successful reader.
