We travel to after school programs to provide tutoring to students. Sunglow has tutors ready and willing to go to your school in Chittenden, Grand Isle, Franklin, Lamoille, and Washington counties.
Tutorials are built upon student strengths and weaknesses. Programs are designed based on testing completed outside of Sunglow and our own assessments both formal and informal to build an effective literacy program for individual students. Interviews with parents and clients are also completed to look at student needs.Tutors keep extensive notes on lessons and outcomes then write detailed quarterly reports on student progress. Assessments are completed three times a year to monitor student progress. Our primary focus is literacy and supporting students in meeting these needs. We offer literacy support in reading, writing, and math as the basic building blocks for acquiring knowledge and abilities in other content areas. We also offer social skills training in small groups.
At Sunglow we understand that parents have limited time and go to children's afterschool programs to provide tutorial services. We have been successful in building relationships with schools and after school programs in order for us to offer this service. This allows children to receive literacy support with minimal impact to parent schedules.
Our tutorials are based on individual needs and use Orton Gillingham as well as Project Read: Framing Your Thoughts for written expression and Nanci Bell's Visualizing and Verbalizing strategies. We also use controlled readings as well as authentic text to promote fluency.Books used are leveled to work with student reading levels. We work on supporting students in the writing process by working on constructive responses,report and persuasive writing,etc. |

Students learn the basic building blocks in reading by linking sounds to letters to build their understanding of sound symbol relationships in words. Syllable types are worked on and extensive work is done to incorporate cursive writing in our tutorials. Spelling and Word study are also addressed. Reading fluency and comprehension are also developed as part of their tutorial program.
Math literacy can be addressed through math language and the understanding of fundamental math skills. Math tutorials are tailored to meet the needs of our students.
