ReadStart (Ages 10-12)
The First Chapter in Lifelong Learning
ReadStart is a twice-weekly literacy program that provides young learners with a strong foundation in early reading skills, combined with individualized tutoring support. Designed for children ages 7-9 & 10-12 who may need additional help in fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension, this program aims to boost reading confidence, close literacy gaps, and foster a lifelong love of reading.
