Reading and Tutoring Programs
Learning and Therapy Corner offers tutoring services supported by early childhood and elementary educators. Tutoring instruction is structured and individualized to support your child where they are. Students meet one-on-one or in a small group setting with an educator, while academic and social/emotional skills are addressed through multimodal learning strategies. Our educators develop lessons that are aligned with Common Core State Standards and individualized based on your child’s needs. Our goal is to motivate your child while supporting their reading, math, and social/emotional skills. Tutoring services are offered in person year-round at Learning and Therapy Corner. Various small groups/camps are often offered during the summer months.

Reading and Pre-Literacy Skills Development
Many children seem to have no trouble learning to read. Even when very young, they begin making connections between letters and sounds, sounds and words, words and thoughts. For these children, the process of reading seems simple and natural. For other children, however, learning to read is a continuous struggle.
Difficulties with basic reading and language skills are the most common of all learning disabilities, affecting up to 80 percent of people who have learning problems. According to the National Institutes of Health, one out of every ten children has significant problems with reading skills. Medical and education specialists use many terms to refer to these problems, including "reading differences," "reading disorders," "reading difficulties," and "dyslexia."
