Reading Readiness Junior

This program helps children build the foundational skills they need to become confident readers.

Children work on:

• Recognizing letters and their sounds
  
• Identifying beginning and ending sounds
  
• Recognizing rhyming words
  
• Breaking words into syllables
  
• Blending sounds to read words
  
• Building sight-word recognition
  
• Understanding what they read
  

An Ontario Certified Teacher provides personalized instruction through one-to-one and small-group learning. Lessons include hands-on activities, games, guided practice, and decodable books that allow children to practise their developing reading skills.

Each child is assessed so instruction can focus on the areas where they need the most support. Skills are taught clearly and step by step, with plenty of review and practice. The goal is to strengthen each child’s reading, spelling, fluency, comprehension, and confidence at school.
