We will match your student with a trained tutor to meet once a week for 45 minutes to an hour at a San Francisco Public Library location that is convenient for you. The program breaks reading and spelling into smaller skills involving letters and sounds. It is a phonetically based, sequential, structured approach that uses multisensory techniques. FOG Readers puts a strong emphasis on understanding the ‘how’ and ‘why’ behind reading — once students know consistent rules and patterns, they’re better able to decode words on their own
