Every year thousands of children fail to learn how to read or they read at such an inadequate level that they are functionally illiterate. Research has shown that the number one cause of reading problems in the United States is "phonemic awareness". This is simply the ability to perceive the 44 individual sounds (phonemes) in the English language with respect to their number, identity and order within words. As many as 20% of the population has some degree of difficulty with this processing, and in about 7% of the population the issue is severe. There is a solution. Programs based upon Phonological Awareness with Synthetic Phonics have been shown to be extremely effective at remediating reading issues. Our tutors are highly trained and very experienced in administering this program. By using the Socratic teaching method and following the program's approach faithfully we ensure your student's success.
