Have you ever wondered how you can support your child's literacy skills at home beyond reading to them?
Consider our new Parent Training Program! You get to meet with one of our expert instructors for 1.5 hours to learn the language and basic exercises to support your child's reading and spelling skills at home. You also get a small kit of materials that mirror what we use in our Read/Write Intervention program. Finally, you get a half-hour follow-up to answer any questions you might have. This is not intended to replace intervention but to continue your child's learning at home
