Reistration Open for New 2019 Programs!
customized, small group reading instruction
We're experienced, certified early childhood literacy specialists.
We understand how important the first years of your child's literacy development are. We preach the research. Children who develop strong reading and writing skills early in their academic career achieve greater academic success than those who do not.
We founded Rye Reads™ and The Rye Book Club for Kids!™ in response to the many local parents searching for an academic program that would strengthen their children's reading and writing skills in a unique, fun and interactive way. Our rigorous programs assess and adjust instructional delivery based on each child's unique strengths and challenges. We design custom learning activities and materials every day. Our ever expanding library of resources has already helped early many readers become more confident readers while developing an appreciation of the written word.
Every reader has unique needs!
Book Club members become better readers and to want to read more. In each session, we share a group read aloud from a beloved children’s authors. Then each student is given a customized activity to support either decoding, fluency or comprehension. We build writing skills. We incorporate technology and always make time for readers to select a book to read, read silently or share with a partner.
Convenient, fun and affordable!
Unless otherwise noted, we meet in a private family home environment right here in Rye. We support the Rye School District curriculum for reading and Rye School District students are given priority registration. Every student receives a t-shirt and a reading response journal.
