Will my child will grow out of their reading struggles naturally with time?

Not likely. Learning to read is not a natural process like learning to walk or talk. The brain does not have a dedicated area for learning how to read. Instead, it takes purposeful instruction to learn how to connect the visual cortex (perceive letters and words), the phonological cortex (maps the sounds to letters), the semantic cortex (stores word meanings), and the syntactic cortex (understand the rules and structure of sentences).

Is my child too young for a reading tutor?

Reading support in the early years reduces the chance of developing low confidence and poor self-esteem in academics. We can help young children learn foundational skills in reading that will help them become capable learners from the very beginning.

What does a typical tutoring lesson look like?

We begin by reviewing letter sounds, heart words, and concepts that we have been working on so far. We introduce a new concept and play a variety of games and read decodable passages to practice the skill. Each lesson is engaging and tailored to your child's specific learning needs.
