Registration is open for Reading Rocks

GUELPH - Does your child struggle with reading? Reading Rocks might be the answer.

Reading Rocks is an eight-week one-on-one literacy program for children aged six to 12 who require support with their literacy skills.

Children are matched with a trained tutor who will develop hands-on activities and games to teach the essential literacy concepts of phonics, sight words, and fluency, while building children’s motivation and fostering self-regulation.

Each evening, children work with their tutors to set goals and graph their success in these areas.

One of the aims of Reading Rocks is to make reading fun!

The program, hosted by the Learning Disabilites Association of Wellington County, is geared to children in grades 1 to 7 who are struggling readers or who have a learning disability.

The program is free but spaces are limited.

The program will be offered at two locations in Guelph this spring:

Mondays - March 27 to May 17 from 6:30 to 7:30pm at St. John’s Catholic School; and

Tuesdays - March 28 to May 18, 6:30 to 7:3pm at Waverley Drive Public School.
