Partnering Private School and Private Tutoring
As a classroom teacher, administrator, counselor, coach, interventionist or other school personnel you play a crucial role in early identification of reading issues. You can make the difference in a student’s life by ensuring they get the help that they need. As someone working with many students day in and day out, it is critical that you are able to notice signs of a reading difficulty.
In the classroom, a few tell-tale signs signal a potential reading, spelling or comprehension challenge exists. The student may:
- avoid participation in reading exercises
- read the same word differently across a passage
- read the beginning of a word correctly, but guesses at the rest of the word
- work 2-3 times longer (harder) to complete an assignment
- struggle to remember the content of the reading material because, for that student, the process of reading is so laborious.
Most importantly, the student may show limited growth (relative to peers) in reading, spelling or comprehension DESPITE participation in an outstanding academic program.
As an educator at a prestigious and rigorous school, you know that your students are participating in an outstanding academic program. You know that the instruction in your classrooms is exemplary and you know that you and your peers are giving students what they need to excel.
Yet, you still find that you have students who have gaps and need extra support with reading and written expression. This is not a reflection on your teaching or the academic rigor of your school. In fact, since you know that both of those are variables are outstanding, you can feel confident that your struggling students need more intensive reading intervention.
That is where we come in. The clinicians at RW&C have completed advanced training to work with students with literacy challenges. RW&C delivers online, person to person remediation services for reading, writing, and spelling difficulties. Our program is:
