Reading Assist Institute: Helping Delaware Students Overcome Reading Struggles
Reading is a fundamental skill that every child needs to learn in order to succeed academically and in life. Unfortunately, not all students are able to master this skill easily. For some, reading can be a daunting task that requires extra help and support. This is where Reading Assist Institute comes in.
Reading Assist Institute is a non-profit organization that provides one-on-one in-school instruction to Delaware K-3 students with reading struggles in the lowest 10% for proficiency. The institute was founded on the belief that every child deserves the opportunity to learn how to read and succeed academically.
At Reading Assist Institute, we understand that each student has unique learning needs and challenges. That's why we provide personalized instruction tailored to each student's individual needs. Our highly trained tutors work closely with students, using evidence-based methods and strategies proven effective for struggling readers.
Our program focuses on building foundational skills such as phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary development, comprehension strategies and critical thinking skills. We also incorporate technology into our instruction by using digital tools like tablets and educational software programs designed specifically for struggling readers.
We believe that early intervention is key when it comes to helping struggling readers overcome their challenges. That's why we target K-3 students who are at risk of falling behind their peers due to reading difficulties. By providing intensive one-on-one instruction during these crucial years of development, we aim to give our students the tools they need to become confident readers who can succeed academically.
Our program has been proven effective through rigorous evaluation studies conducted by independent researchers from universities such as University of Delaware and Johns Hopkins University School of Education Center for Research & Reform in Education (CRRE). These studies have shown significant improvements in our students' reading skills compared with control groups who did not receive our intervention.
In addition to providing direct services through our tutoring program, Reading Assist Institute also offers professional development opportunities for educators working with struggling readers across Delaware schools districts through workshops focused on evidence-based practices related specifically towards literacy education.
At Reading Assist Institute we are committed towards ensuring equitable access towards quality literacy education regardless of socio-economic status or zip code within Delaware communities; therefore all services provided by us are free-of-costs thanks largely due generous donations from individuals as well as corporate sponsors including DuPont de Nemours Inc., Bank of America Charitable Foundation among others.
