Comprehensive Reading Assessment
Before instruction begins, every enrolled student completes a detailed diagnostic reading assessment designed to identify exactly where your child is — and what they need most. The assessment measures progress across the core skills that determine reading success, including:
- Letter naming and letter-sound fluency (foundational early literacy)
- Phonemic awareness — the ability to hear and manipulate individual sounds in spoken words
- Phonics and word reading — accuracy and automaticity with decoding
- Nonsense word fluency — true measure of decoding ability (since these words cannot be memorized)
- Oral reading fluency — words read correctly per minute with grade-level texts
- Reading comprehension — understanding what was read
- Spelling and encoding — applying phonics knowledge to write words
- Vocabulary and morphology (for older students) — understanding word meanings and word parts
The assessment is administered virtually by your child's instructor and takes about 20–30 minutes, depending on grade level. You will receive a complete written report within 48 hours that shows your child's strengths, specific skill gaps, and the targeted plan your instructor will use during the program. At the end of the 4 weeks, your child completes the same assessment again, so you can see measurable growth in clear, specific terms.
What We'll Cover — By Grade Band
Each session is built on Orton-Gillingham principles and adapted to your child's specific needs. Here's what students at each level typically work on:

- Beginning sight words and high-frequency words
- Concepts of print and sentence-level reading
- Early comprehension and retelling
Grades 2–3 (Developing Readers)
Building accuracy, fluency, and the foundations of comprehension:
- Long vowel patterns (silent-e, vowel teams)
- R-controlled vowels (car, her, bird)
- Two-syllable word decoding
- Common prefixes and suffixes (un-, re-, -ing, -ed)

A Sample Week of Instruction
To give you a sense of how each week is structured, here is a typical week's progression. Every week follows this rhythm — introduce, build, stretch, apply, assess — which produces consistent, measurable growth.
Monday — Foundation Day
Today, we lay the groundwork for the week's new skill. Warm-up (10 min): Quick review of skills from the previous week to keep prior learning fresh. Introduce the week's focus skill (15 min): New phonics pattern, syllable type, morphology concept, or comprehension strategy — taught explicitly with multisensory techniques. Guided group practice (20 min): Students practice the new skill together with instructor support. Independent practice (10 min): Initial application of the new skill in the learning portal. Wrap and preview (5 min): Quick summary and preview of Tuesday's work. After class: Daily practice assigned in the learning portal (15–20 min independent work).
Tuesday — Build Day
Today, we deepen and apply what we learned yesterday. Skill review (10 min): Quick reinforcement of Monday's new skill. Reading words and decoding text (20 min): Students read words and short passages that use the week's pattern. Writing application (15 min): Students use the new skill in spelling and writing. Small group reading practice (10 min): Controlled text aligned to the week's pattern. Independent practice (5 min): Self-paced reinforcement in the portal. After class: Daily practice in the portal.
Wednesday — Stretch Day
Today, we go deeper and build fluency. Skill review (5 min): Quick recap of Monday and Tuesday's work. Repeated reading practice (15 min): Students read short passages multiple times to build fluency and confidence. Vocabulary or morphology mini-lesson (15 min): Extending the week's skill into word meaning, roots, prefixes, or suffixes. Individual instructor check-ins (15 min): Each student receives 2–3 minutes of focused one-on-one attention while others work independently. Independent practice (10 min): Targeted portal work based on individual student needs. After class: Daily practice in the portal.
Thursday — Apply Day
Today, we apply our skills to real reading. Skill review (5 min): Final reinforcement of the week's pattern. Reading passage work (20 min): Students read a longer passage that uses the week's focus skill. Comprehension discussion (15 min): Group discussion, questioning, and written response. Spelling and encoding practice (10 min): Applying the week's skill to writing. Group review game (10 min): Engaging reinforcement activity that builds confidence. After class: Daily practice in the portal.
Friday — Assess & Celebrate Day
Today we measure progress and celebrate growth. Brief end-of-week assessment (15 min): A short, focused check on the week's skill — administered individually through the learning portal. Targeted reteaching (15 min): For students still developing the skill, small-group reteaching with the instructor. Reading celebration (15 min): Students share strong reading moments from the week. Preview of next week (10 min): Setting the stage for the next skill. Closing reflection (5 min): Each student names one thing they got better at this week. Weekly progress report sent to parents through the portal.
