CHILDREN’S READING program Details

---

All lessons are taught individually: one student and Ms. Finch.… every time. 

Average rate of progress is one year of reading skills gain per every two to three months of full-time program participation.
* No guarantees can be made. 

All students are required to attend four 45  minute lessons every week, Monday - Thursday via zoom. 

Typical program duration is five to twelve months, depending upon individual student needs.

The program is based in best practices in literacy instruction according to the National Reading Panel report of 2000, commissioned by Barbara Bush. I have combined the best of Orton Gillingham with the best of Reading Recovery. Then, I pared down the curriculum to only the core elements (got rid of the fluff), added my own specialized multi sensory techniques and as much repetition as necessary for the child to reach automaticity, beyond mastery level. Each moment of instruction is expertly scaffolded to keep the child in their own zone of proximal development (Vygotsky). All methods are trauma informed. 

Tuition is by private pay only. Unfortunately, scholarships are not available at this time. Medical insurance does not pay for tuition. The current tuition rate is $3000 per month. 

Reading Rescue serves k-5 students who are 1-5 years behind in reading level progress.
