Kids Up Reading Coaches
How Do Children Learn to Read?
Roughly a third of all children learn to read on their own, with little or no help from their parents or teachers. Another third will learn to read with some instruction, almost no matter what kind of instruction they get.
All other children need more than that. They need instruction based on the "Science of Reading" -- a term used to describe the last 20+ years of research into how children learn to "decode" (read) and "encode" (spell). They need excellent instruction in phonological awareness and phonics in order to build those foundational reading skills. Plus training in fluency, vocabulary and comprehension.
Unfortunately, most classroom teachers haven't been trained to effectively teach this group of children to read.
Kids Up Reading Coaches is based in Tucson and offers 1-on-1 reading and spelling instruction based on the Science of Reading.
Students become fluent readers in a matter of months, not years!
