What “Reading School” is for
«School of Reading» is an educational course that helps bilingual children and Russian-speaking students improve their speaking, reading, and writing skills. Very often, children speak Russian fluently but struggle with reading text – sometimes the reading skill is completely absent, and along with it, the writing skill.
This situation creates a gap: if a child's level is determined by their spoken language, they cannot work with texts at that level. If they are placed in a lower-level course, they end up in a group where students speak less proficiently, making it too easy for them. «Reading School» solves this problem.
Who the program is for
The Reading School program is designed for children aged 4 to 14 and divided into three age groups:
- Preschoolers (4–6 years old) — first steps in reading, developing listening comprehension, and learning the alphabet.
- Younger students (7–9 years old) — learning to read, understanding texts, and developing meaningful reading skills.
- Older students and teens (10–14 years old) — fluent, conscious reading and vocabulary expansion.
