Our multisensory phonics instruction, fluency development, vocabulary expansion, and comprehension and writing strategies lead to measurable growth, not temporary tutoring gains. • Consistency — Instructor training, lesson protocols, progress monitoring tools, and ongoing coaching ensure instructional quality remains strong across locations. Students experience predictable routines, explicit instruction, and cumulative review that builds mastery over time. In literacy education today, real quality isn’t about worksheets or quick fixes.

Finding the ‘Just Right’ Book Boost Reading Confidence With the 5-Finger Rule
• 3 Fingers: May Need Help — This book might be a little challenging. Reading with support is helpful. • 4 Fingers: Tough to Read — This book may be too difficult right now. • 5 Fingers: Try Again Later — Save this book for another time when reading skills improve.
Helping children choose the right book is an important step in building strong reading confidence and skills. One helpful way to do this is by using the “Five-Finger Rule.” Here’s how it works. YOU CAN FIND A ‘JUST RIGHT’ BOOK. 1. Open your book to any page. 2. Read the words on that page. 3. Count how many words you don’t know. 4. Use your fingers to check if the book is a good fit.
THE RIGHT BOOK MATTERS. Choosing the right book helps children:
• Build confidence • Enjoy reading more
• Too easy: 0–1 unknown words • Just right!: 2–3 unknown words • Too hard: 4+ unknown words
• Improve comprehension • Develop independence
WHAT DO THE FINGERS MEAN? • 1–2 Fingers: Just Right! — This book is a good choice and can be read independently.
Encouraging your child to use this simple strategy can make reading time more successful and enjoyable!
