The layers of our rainbow.

There are a variety of layers in our reading rainbow. With Rainbow dyslexia therapy and literacy support services, we emphasize alphabet recognition, phonological awareness, intense phonemic awareness, and phonics skills and strategies for students in grades K-8. We also dive deep into finding the meaning of various reading genres with fun fluency activities and strive to strengthen student comprehension, spelling, vocabulary, handwriting, and more!

“ In my classroom, every student is respected and admired for their unique talents and strengths. I want every student and parent to feel encouraged upon stepping into my therapy classroom. The name Rainbow Reading was thoughtfully and intentionally chosen. A rainbow symbolizes positivity, light, and hope. While I guide my students down the road to reading, step by step we will work together to get closer to reading success, our Rainbow!”

  • Getting to know your child first.

    Getting to know our students is our top priority. Knowing a child's attitude about reading through student and parent interviews and surveys is essential. We identify current strengths and areas of improvement through this collective feedback. This valuable information about students' interests becomes a fun foundation to build their individualized learning!

  • Formative assessment & feedback is ongoing.

    Formative assessments and feedback are valued, ongoing, and conducted each time a student is in the classroom. Each child will be assessed with various and proven assessments to identify his or her instructional level. This information can create an individualized plan and assessment for progress. Parent communication is vital; all parents will be able to participate and be active members of the reading process and progress!

  • Language and literacy that is interactive.

    Our creative language and literacy instruction will help immerse each child in all the essential components of a well-structured literacy program while being interactive and enjoyable! A strong emphasis on multi-sensory instruction will compliment our emphasis on the areas of alphabet recognition, phonological awareness, phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, comprehension, writing, spelling, and vocabulary!

  • Rich reading experiences.

    With so much technology in the classroom and standardized test practice, our students deserve to get back to the fundamentals of reading an actual book, engaging in authentic discussions, and discovering text meaning. With fun and focus, we are confident we can achieve this and ultimately facilitate an authentic love for learning and reading! We guide our students back to books and print using quality literature and informational texts.

  • Instilling a growth mindset is part of our curriculum.

    Often children struggling with reading have diminished self-confidence and self-perception about themselves. Rainbow Reading focuses on a child's strengths and talents. Focusing on a child's positive attributes and intentionally teaching them how to weather the struggles and storms they are facing today will help them realize just how resilient and extraordinary they are. Within our classroom, we will present your child with specific tools, strategies, and intentional literature to strengthen their growth mindset. They will learn that the most successful, creative, and influential people in our world struggle with reading and writing. Confidence is key; student confidence is as valuable to us as our literacy curriculum within our classroom setting.
