The Bartelt Reading tutor program is designed to help
students of all ages, from children entering Kindergarten to older students who
need to reinforce their vocabulary, comprehension, and other basic reading
skills.
For beginning readers, we use the successful and
widely adopted Open Court method. In Open Court reading, explicit phonics and
comprehension skills instruction is balanced with extensive reading of both
decodable texts and quality literature. In other words, students learn to read
through a balance of literature integrated with explicit skills instruction in
areas such as comprehension, fluency, decoding, writing, reading, research and
inquiry.
The Open Court reading approach to initial reading
tutoring relies on the explicit teaching of sounds, on the blending of sounds
into words, and on the leverage of using this knowledge for reading and
writing. There are no assumptions about prior knowledge, so students do not
fall through the cracks. Students are exposed to and read a variety of genres
in both fiction and non-fiction. The focus is always on building knowledge and
deeper understanding. The intent is to engage students in reading, thinking and
problem solving that are typical of real-world situations.
