Reading Rocks is a free eight-week one-on-one literacy program for children aged 6-12 or struggling readers who require support with their literacy skills.
Children are matched with a trained tutor who adapts a poster board workstation and literacy program according to the child’s specific needs.
The program focuses on the essential literacy concepts of phonics, sight words, and fluency.
Tutors develop and implement engaging, hands-on literacy activities to address these areas and build children’s motivation.
Each week, children set goals and graph their success in these areas on their poster board, contributing to self-regulated learning.
Reading Rocks will take place every Monday/Wednesday, beginning the week of Oct. 1 with no program on Thanksgiving, Oct. 8). The sessions occur at St. James Catholic High School in Guelph.
Registration opens in mid-August. To subscribe to e-blasts visit http://www.ldawc.ca/Newsletter.html.
Space is limited and dependent on volunteer recruitment. Questions can be directed to Jen Paterson, resource coordinator at 519-837-2050 or info@ldawc.ca.
