Helping Your Child to Become a Better Reader

Many parents enjoy reading with their children and would like to assist them to become stronger, more fluent readers.

Helping with Spelling

Our Working with Words program allows students to explore words, word meanings, patterns in how words are formed and subject and theme vocabulary. We pay particular attention to the homonyms as these are often used incorrectly at this level. Several of our homonyms are listed below...

there / their / they're
cent / sent / scent
by / buy / bye
two / to / too
chews / choose
threw / through
close / clothes
night / knight
would / wood
your / you're
meat / meet
weak / week
right / write
hear / here
deer / dear
no / know
for / four
