At The Reading HQ, each lesson is built with a daily review of concepts to build automaticity in a way that does not center around memorization. Our goal is to provide a child with multiple ways to access the information by giving them opportunities for auditory, visual, and kinesthetic learning on a daily basis.
Core Philosophies
- Make learning engaging, fun, and relevant; connect it to real life
- Children learn in different ways and at different rates; provide instruction that reflects that
- Meet students where they are
- Provide opportunities for successful interactions with reading immediately
- Dual emphasis in instruction: comprehension and decoding strategies
