What Your Child Will Learn
Our Young Readers Intensive program builds solid phonological and phonemic awareness through the systematic and sequential building up of decoding and fluency skills. Students continue learning the 44 sounds made by the 26 letters of the alphabet and how these sounds blend into words.
Level 1:
Mastering Letter Sounds and Basic Decoding
Level 2:
Advancing to Complex Sounds and Multi-Syllable Words
-
Strengthen phonemic awareness by actively breaking apart and blending sounds to build a solid foundation for reading and spelling.
-
Master essential phonics patterns, connecting spoken sounds to written letters to learn short vowels, long vowels, and digraphs (like “sh” and “ch”).
-
Decode words with confidence, moving smoothly from short vowel words (like “cat”) to long vowel words with a silent “e” (like “bike”).
-
Build reading fluency and self-esteem through guided reading practice with personalized tutor support.
-
Navigate complex consonant rules by learning to confidently identify and read hard and soft sounds (like the “g” in “go” vs. “giraffe”).
-
Unlock multi-syllable words by mastering trigraphs (like “tch” in “catch”) and systematically breaking apart longer words (like “cupcake” and “milkshake”).
-
Boost reading fluency and accuracy through consistent, structured practice and real-time, encouraging feedback from a dedicated tutor.
By the end of Levels 1 and 2, students have the foundational skills to confidently decode both familiar and unfamiliar words, leading to significant gains in reading fluency and overall comprehension.
