Reading Rescue
One-to-one coaching.
We have a proven program called ’Toe by Toe’ that will make your child a confident reader in 6 months. A trained coach works with the student for 20 minutes every day for 6 months, either in your home or a public setting nearby. Whether you need tutoring Scottsdale AZ or elsewhere in the US, Get Reading! will ensure with Toe by Toe your child will learn to read. The science of reading is followed, teaching phonics systematically and explicitly, and in small steps, with repeated practice day after day until the program has been completed. Like a miracle, your child will be able to read complex text accurately and fluently.
We train YOU how to coach your child
Toe by Toe is so simple and well-structured, you do not have to be a teacher to teach someone to read. If you can read, you can use Toe by Toe to teach someone else to read. With a quick and easy training session, we can show you how to use the manual, and how to be a successful coach. All you need is the manual, a pencil and a timer. This is the most convenient and by far the most affordable solution.
‘Get Ready to Read’ Coaching
Toddler Parent Coaching.
This service is based on the old saying, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”
‘Get Ready to Read’ Coaching aims to prevent reading failure. Through in-person or virtual coaching sessions, Margaret works with parents of little ones before they get to school. Literacy development starts from birth. The goal is to build the child’s literacy foundations and cognitive development to ensure your child can read BEFORE they get to school (or at least ready to hit the ground running). Based on Margaret’s 40 years of experience teaching children to read in schools, and her extensive research into how a child learns to read, ‘Get Ready to Read’ Coaching empowers parents to enhance their baby and toddlers’ learning through simple practices and activities to integrate into everyday life. There is so much a parent can do to give their baby the gift of literacy; it is not rocket science. When you come to us for your tutoring Scottsdale AZ needs, we can provide you the resources you need. Simple practices such as teaching nursery rhymes, reading aloud, conversation and questioning, and intentional games encourage your child’s speech and vocabulary, build phonological awareness, and start to read and write.
Homeschool Help
Homeschooling is a wonderful way to provide a rich personalized education for your child in a secure, family environment. However, when your child is struggling in reading it can be hard to know what to do. Get Reading!, as your tutoring Scottsdale AZ services, can provide the answers and the tools to ensure your child becomes a competent reader. We can evaluate, advise and demonstrate teaching practices to enhance your reading and writing curriculum and instructional practices. In addition, we can train you in using the best reading intervention program on the market. Toe by Toe was written to teach the hardest to teach learners how to read through brief, daily sessions every day for 6 months. No matter the reason for the delay, whether Dyslexia, Autism, Specific Learning Disorders or just weak pre-reading development, Toe by Toe’s explicit and systematic program of phonics and fluency exercises will turn your child into a proficient reader in around 6 months.
Reading SuperNanny Service (Scottsdale AZ clients only)
Reading expert Margaret Bertram will be your reading Supernanny! Margaret will come to the home each day Monday to Friday to tutor your child or children, and manage their every educational need. Margaret will take care of homework sessions and reading practice, liaise with the school and the child’s teachers, arrange educational assessments, take them to appointments, recommend schools and education options for the family. If you’ve tried tutoring Scottsdale AZ, but you’re not satisfied, when you want your child to succeed but just don’t have time, Margaret can come to your rescue. This means your “kid-time” can be “fun-time,” while ensuring your child’s learning is optimized in the meantime. We want to bring peace of mind to you, knowing that your struggling reader is on the path to becoming a strong reader, as well as bring confidence and capability to your child.
Tutoring Business Support
