Reading Rocks – A structured intervention program for literacy
Reading Rocks is an individualized reading intervention program designed by Brock University’s Dr. John McNamara, who specializes in Learning Disabilities. This program is designed for students who are performing a minimum of one year behind in the area of literacy due to a diagnosed, or suspected reading disability.
In addition to foundational literacy skills, Reading Rocks is an intervention approach that uses motivational tactics to engage children in the reading process. These tactics are designed to actively engage children in their own learning. The motivation tactics are engaged through the use of instructional workstations that tutors design and tailor to each child’s needs.
The Reading Rocks approach is designed to be delivered in a series of 1-hour instructional sessions.
This program is currently been subsidized by the School boards in York and Simcoe, Please note that students attending Public Schools in York Region will not longer be able to register for January as we have reached capacity for subsidies. If you wish to enroll you can do so for a fee.
Due to the high volume of registrations we have received, this round of programs is now closed. We are now registering students to start after winter break in January 2023.
We appreciate your patience as we work through your registration.
Space is limited and we enroll on a first come first serve basis.
