Literacy Tutoring Support with TbT
Students will receive targeted reading support based on their needs, using Science of Reading-aligned instruction. For some, this may include foundational skills like phonemic awareness and decoding, while others will focus on vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension strategies to strengthen grade-level reading.
Through this approach, students build the skills necessary for confident, independent reading!
