Grades K-2Foundational Readers
Students use leveled readers and mentor texts to build decoding, fluency, and vocabulary. Special emphasis on reading comprehension using oral retell and response to reading methods. Students meet in groups of 2-3 to read, listen to peers, and build confidence in read-alouds and story maps.
Grades 3-8Advanced Readers
Using backwards design, we prepare students to excel on exams like MSTEP, PSAT, and SAT. Practice with short passages introduces formatted reading segments with specific comprehension strategies. Students learn context clues, inferences, and figurative language. Reading and Writing work synchronously with weekly grammar lessons.
