Reading and Spelling Tutoring

If your child is struggling or behind on their reading scores, we can help! We are trained in multiple intervention models including the Next StepsSM and Higher StepsSM, models proven through university research to be the most effective at bringing kids up to grade-reading level. 

Next StepsSM

These reading intervention classes are designed for students at a beginning of 1st grade reading level to end of 2nd grade reading level. With your student, we will focus reading instructional level texts, vowel pattern mastery for one syllable words through word study and spelling work. These classes also establish the beginnings of reading fluency and helps students feel more motivated to keep learning!

Next Steps lessons typically include:

• Practice with high frequency words

• Reading alongside a tutor with texts at their current reading level with word recognition and comprehension supports 

• Word study to learn and practice vowel patterns

• Fluency practice to help students read faster and more accurately

Higher StepsSM

These reading intervention classes are designed for students who are at a beginning of 3rd grade reading level or above. Students focus on reading complex texts closer to their grade level, advanced word study of syllable types and vowel patterns, spelling, vocabulary, and developing accurate reading fluency. 

Higher Steps lessons typically include:

• Vocabulary practice with grade-level words

• Reading alongside a tutor with texts closer to their grade level with word recognition and comprehension supports 

• Word study to learn and practice syllable types, vowel patterns, and other 

• Fluency practice to help students read faster and more accurately
