Reading and Succeeding – Summer 2023

BUILD CONFIDENCE IN READING AND SUPPORT ACADEMIC SUCCESS

For Kindergarten – 2nd Grade reading levels

This club is intended to follow the Orton-Gillingham methodology of reading instruction, using sequential, multisensory, and structured approaches that repeat across group meetings to improve mastery of reading concepts. This is a level one group intended to go over Kindergarten level concepts, but sound/letter and spelling concepts taught will be selected based on the needs of the group as a whole. This group will be led by one Orton-Gillingham trained speech-language therapist.

Level 1 Goals Include: 

  • Learning to write dictated words and sentences
  • Using finger-tapping and other multisensory strategies to blend and segment words
  • Reading and spelling using digraphs (like ch, sh, th, wh, and qu) and open syllables. (may be adjusted based on group needs)
  • Recognizing vowels correctly in CVC words

Level 3 Goals Include: 

  • Learning to write dictated words and sentences
  • Using finger-tapping and other multisensory strategies to blend and segment words
  • Reading and spelling using vowel teams and spelling rules (such as the magic e). (may be adjusted based on group needs)

Goals will be adjusted based on the needs of the group.

Children are expected to attend every session (barring illness), as the sessions build on each other and group dynamics are an important component. The payment for this club is different from the others, and is $100 per week. If you have any questions about the new Emerge Clubs changes or payment options, please refer to our FAQ!

If your child is not attending therapy sessions at Emerge, we will be in touch with you to set up a brief free screening to determine if this program is a good match for your child.
