What “Reading School” is for
«Reading School» is an educational course that helps bilingual children and Russian-speaking students to improve their speaking, reading and writing skills. Very often children are fluent in Russian but have difficulties in reading a text - sometimes they have no reading skill at all, and with it, no writing skill.
This situation creates a gap: if a child's level is determined by speaking, he/she cannot work with texts offered at this level. If a child's level is determined by speaking, he or she cannot work with texts offered at that level. If, on the other hand. if you send him to a lower level, he's in a group of students who speak less well - and it becomes too easy for him. «Reading School solves this problem.
