There are many stages to reading development, but between Junior Kindergarten and Grade 2, students are typically consolidating phonological awareness, developing phonics skills, and learning to recognize high-frequency sight words.

RRLS early reading classes are designed to strengthen the foundational skills necessary to be a successful reader. We foster and develop critical reading skills through active, engaging games and lots of practice and repetition. By the end of each program, students will be proud of the progress they have made.
