Students of all ages are coming to us unable to read fluently and accurately, or comprehend what they read. . . because they never truly mastered phonics and related skills!
We need to go back to basics.
That means all students will receive a literacy assessment at intake, including an inventory of basic phonics skills. This inventory will give you (tutors) a clearer picture of where are the Phonics Funnel you need to focus your attentions.
For at-risk students evidence-based literacy interventions will be recommended in addition to tutor-selected activities.
