Reading Tutors for Children 3 to 6
The early learning years are irreplaceable, when reading and learning are the key to to lifelong success
Neuroscience tells us that these early years of development are extraordinary and fleeting. For example, a child’s ability to learn a new language or large motor skill such as music or sports rapidly declines after age 12.
Children aged three to six years experience a dramatic rate of growth in the front part of the brain that governs organizational behaviors.
Now is the time to take advantage of this critical period to help your child accumulate the basic skills that will carry through a lifetime of learning.
Early learners flourish in school
Studies show that 25% of children arrive for their first day of school lacking the skills they need to begin a lifetime of learning. Yet, research confirms that preschoolers who learn to read early perform better throughout their school years.
Oxford Learning’s Little Readers® is an enriched half-day learning and reading tutor program that develops the skills needed to learn and excel — including reading, writing, math and fun activities.
Little Readers® is the only learning and reading tutor program that offers cognitive skills development (the basis for all learning) along with an enriched academic curriculum. Children aged three to six enjoy a balance of play, exploration and discovery in a structured environment that allows them to thrive.
- Small class size
- Enriched curriculum
- Individual programs
- A warm, caring environment
- Children progress at their own pace
Using original materials and songs, Oxford Learning’s Little Readers® program builds thinking skills and creates a solid foundation for learning.
Phonics and whole language
At Oxford Learning, we’ve developed an innovative program that bridges the gap between phonetic programs and whole language theories. We incorporate sequencing, memory, auditory discrimination and blending. This means children learn their ABCs in a balanced approach that does not rely solely on drills and memorization. At Oxford Learning, a child truly learns and knows.
Reading is more than just a skill performed with the eyes; it is how a child learns to relate to his or her world. Little Readers® encourages preschoolers at every step with the right materials, guidance and experiences:
- Cultivating an aptitude for reading
- Introducing children to books, pre-reading
- Training early reading competence
Our tutoring method works
Thanks to the Oxford Learning approach, children read fluently with comprehension and speed. We build strong reading skills using a combination of phonics, sight vocabulary and context. For more than two decades, we have been successfully tutoring children as young as three years old to read.
