Our Comprehensive Structured Literacy Tutoring Program
Your child’s ability to read is a critical predictor of educational and lifelong success!
Our individualized literacy tutoring program is aligned with state standards and utilizes a framework of evidence-based effective literacy instruction and support (SOR) and utilizes high-leverage practices designed to engage each student while directly and systematically teaching the structure of the English language with a certified reading specialist trained in the Wilson Reading Systems and Language Essentials for Teachers of Reading and Spelling. We build the strategies and skills for our students to become purposeful, fluent readers and communicators to excel in life.
The FCS literacy framework focuses on the key components of high quality, aligned, explicit, systematic instruction, strategies, support, and enrichment, guided by meaningful assessments, and intentional progress monitoring to develop strong foundational skills in:
- Phonemic awareness
- Phonics
- Fluency
- Vocabulary
- Spelling
- Writing
- Comprehension
At Full Circle of Support, our individualized literacy instruction framework is based on an understanding of both typical reading development and the possible factors that may disrupt this process. Intervention is directed toward removing the specific barriers preventing the student from making “typical” reading progress.
Our Early Literacy, Reading Success Program:
The FCS Reading Success Program provides a proactive instructional approach used to reduce the likelihood of future reading problems by addressing severe and persistent difficulties with learning to read through the use of evidence-based instruction in one-on-one and smaller-group settings, increased instructional time, and increased intensity that is aligned to individual student needs and is guided by ongoing student progress monitoring data using a valid assessment tool.
