Reading Tuition
"The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go." - Dr. Seuss
Reading Tuition
In a world where literacy is fundamental to success, it's crucial that every child has access to quality reading education. However, not all children learn to read in the same way, or at the same pace.
For those facing the challenges of dyslexia and other reading difficulties, specialized support can make all the difference.
The Extraordinary Kids after-school reading tuition programme is rooted in empathy and a deep understanding of the unique struggles faced by children with dyslexia and reading difficulties.
It recognizes that no two learners are the same and that customized, evidence-based approaches are essential for success.
Specialized Phonics Programme
Central to the programme's success is its utilization of a specialized phonics programme designed specifically for children with dyslexia and reading difficulties.
Structured Phonics Instruction
The programme employs a structured and systematic phonics approach that breaks down the complexities of language into manageable components. This approach helps children understand the relationships between sounds and letters, which is often a significant hurdle for those with dyslexia.
Multisensory Techniques
Recognizing that dyslexic learners often benefit from multisensory experiences, the programme incorporates various sensory modalities—visual, auditory, and kinesthetic—into the learning process. This engages different areas of the brain, facilitating better retention and comprehension.
Sequential Progression
The programme progresses sequentially, gradually building on previously acquired skills. This incremental approach allows children to build a strong foundation in reading, leading to increased confidence and fluency.
Reading: Empowering Children for Life
The benefits of this after-school reading tuition programme extend far beyond improved reading skills. It empowers children to thrive in both academic and personal spheres.
The specialized phonics programme equips children with the tools needed to decode words and read with greater accuracy. As a result, their reading proficiency improves, boosting academic performance across subjects.
As children experience success in their reading journey, their self-esteem and self-confidence soar. This newfound belief in their abilities extends to other areas of life, encouraging them to take on challenges with a positive outlook.
The programme instills a love for learning and reading, transforming reading from a source of frustration into a source of enjoyment. Children discover the joy of exploring new worlds through books, opening doors to endless possibilities.
Equipped with strong reading skills and a growth mindset, children are better prepared for future academic and professional endeavors. They are more resilient, adaptable learners who can navigate challenges with confidence.
The programme starts by completing a reading and phonics assessments to identify each child's specific needs and strengths.
This allows our reading and writing tutors to create tailored learning plans that cater to the individual learner, ensuring that no child is left behind.
"...this not only equips them with the tools to read effectively but also empowers them with life skills that will serve them well into the future. "
By recognising and addressing the unique needs of these learners, this programme opens doors to a world of possibilities and paves the way for a brighter, more literate future.
"Reading is the key that opens doors to many good things in life. Reading shaped my dreams, and more reading helped me make my dreams come true."
