Why then do we expect students to do \u201cdeep reading\u201d before they know how to read? There are reading programs that suggest students use context clues to \u201cguess\u201d at unknown words.\u00a0That is like starting to climb a mountain from the top. You have to be a pretty good reader to do that.\u00a0Otherwise you collapse in fear and confusion.<\/p>\n

Common sense and the research of Sharon Vaughn confirm that the most reliable predictor in kindergarten for future reading proficiency is phonological awareness. <\/strong><\/em>The best predictor of good reading in grades 1-4 is the ability to read the words. <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Fortunately, both these skills can be taught, and Everyone Reading can help you do that.\u00a0The best thing about all our workshops is that they are self-contained.\u00a0They are not Part 1 of anything.\u00a0You will learn techniques and get materials that will enable you to start teaching those basic skills the very next day.<\/p>\n

During July, we practice what we preach with our <\/strong>Catching Up and Getting Ahead <\/strong><\/em>program for rising fourth graders who are still struggling with reading. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Catching Up and Getting Ahead <\/em>will again take place at the\u00a0 Museum of the City of New York, from July 8 through July 26, 2019, Monday through Friday, from 12:30 to 3:30 pm. There will be a pre-testing\/grouping day on June 27th<\/sup>.\u00a0\u00a0 Each afternoon combines 90 minutes of small group tutoring in phonics and other foundational skills and 90 minutes of hands-on museum education activities related to New York City history and geography.\u00a0 The premise of the program is that students will catch up <\/em>in reading and get ahead <\/em>in the fourth grade social studies curriculum for September.<\/p>\n

Participants must be rising fourth graders, born in 2010, who are still struggling with basic reading skills.\u00a0 CATCHING UP AND GETTING AHEAD IS FREE, BUT WE PROVIDE NO TRANSPORTATION OR REFRESHMENTS.\u00a0 The instruction is intense and produces excellent results.\u00a0 Good attendance is paramount.\u00a0 Students who are late and\/or absent will be dismissed from the program.<\/p>\n

The first step is filling out the attached application and returning it to Laura Guerrero, Lguerrero@everyonereading.org<\/a>. She will set up a brief screening appointment to see if your child will benefit from the program.<\/p>\n
