How We Work: Academic Associates Reading Center Academic Associates Reading Center. A clean, safe and positive learning Environment. When you come to the Academic Associates Reading Center, you will be greeted by a friendly and knowledgeable Reading Instruction Specialist. The process begins with a presentation about our services, and how we work. Then we conduct a Q&A session to get a clear understanding of the problem and to assure the parent and the student that they will learn to read at Academic Associates Reading Center. After the presentation and Q&A, if a determination is made to enroll the child, we begin the assessment process. The assessment process consists of two exercises. The first exercise is the WRAT Wide Range Achievement Test and the second exercise is the Assessment of Basic Word-Attack Skills. If needed, we also conduct an assessment of the student's comprehension level. We use the Basic Reading Inventory {preschool thru college}, by Jerry L. Johns for this assessment. Once the enrollment and assessment process is complete, we set up a schedule for the student to attend at least two, 1-hour sessions per week.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
All of our instructors are Certified in their field or Certified New York State Teachers.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I have always had a passion for reading and teaching.
What types of customers have you worked with?

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Questions Parents Should Ask When Hiring A Reading Tutor? 1. Who will TEACH my child? (X)a tutor?
a computer?
paperwork? More often than not, you will find centers using computer or paper programs as their main teaching tool, qualifying them as student-paced or student-led. You will also find that the teachers who are there, are there to help as they travel from student to student or when needed, like a tutor. 2. How much of the hour is actual Instruction time? Know and be comfortable with what you are paying. Do you want to pay for independent work, worksheets, assistance, computer work, or actual instruction? 3. What is the Curriculum? What they do with your child should not be a mystery. You should be able to know and see exactly what your child is doing and where he or she is headed. 4. Will your childs progress be measurable? Its one thing to know that your child is doing better but it is more valid to know exactly how far he or she has progressed. 5. What are the terms of terminating the program? Know what youre getting into and for how long. Life has its twists and turns. What if you need to terminate service or what if you want to terminate service? Find out and be comfortable with those details before making an agreement. Questions To Ask About the Academic Associates Reading Program? 1. How long does your program take? Ultimately this depends on the pace of the student. Some students catch on quickly and others move more slowly while others will need to have learning disabilities diagnosed before any progress can be made. That said, it usually takes 30 to 60 lessons, each one hour long, to complete the program. 2. What do you mean theres no contract? There is no legally binding document for you to sign, allowing you to quit whenever you need to. We do however have a courtesy policy that we have each client agree to before the first lesson. 3. Will you talk with my childrens teachers to develop a learning plan, or address my childs learning issues? Yes, we would be happy to communicate with your childs teacher. But, we will do so only if you give permission. 4. Do you teach other subjects? Currently we only teach reading; however, in the near future we will be offering math, writing skills, and basic computer & technology programs. 5. How many times a week do students attend tutoring? Usually twice a week. For high school and college subjects the frequency is determined by the students needs. 6. Do you have reading groups? No. We have found one-on-one instruction is more beneficial to the student. 7. What qualifications do your teachers have? All of our reading instruction specialist are certified to teach the Academic Associates Reading Program and are supervised by a New York State Certified Teacher. All our teachers are background checked and tested for drugs. 8. Do you tutor in the students home? Normally we dont, however we will if that is the best situation for the student. Special arrangements can be made. 9. So what if my child is a little slow in learning to read? Parentsdo not delay in helping your child! If a child gets behind in reading, he may start to think he is not as smart as the rest of his classmates, or begin to harbor a negative attitude towards school or learning in general. It is estimated that the academic futures of 25-40% of American students are endangered because they do not read well enough. Dont let your child become a sad statistic. The good news is that, in a very short time, your childs life can be fundamentally transformed for the betterforever! 10. Can students with learning disabilities ever learn to read? Yes, it just may take them a little longer. Recent studies show that nearly every learning disabled student can learn to read if taught by the logical, sequential, comprehensive, step-by step phonics method used by Academic Associates. Our unique method teaches learning disabled students to begin reading simple words immediately. They progress steadily and before long, most can read every word in the English language. Then they learn to understand what they read. 11. Whats the best age to teach children to read? We love teaching four and five year old students, because, when children are given a proper foundation with synthetic phonics, they do not develop the learning disabilities engendered by conventional instructional methods. Typically, Academic Associates graduates start kindergarten or first grade with the ability to read at the second or third grade level. The earlier children start, the better their chances of success. At Academic Associates, we teach children of four years and older so they can get a substantial head start in school and in life. They can already read books by the time they start kindergarten. Of course, our time-tested method works as well for older students and adults. 12. Why are you so positive that you can teach everyone to read? Because our Academic Associates course has worked for every student weve ever taught. Like our five-year-old students who know things about reading most adults dont know, or our fifth graders who read high school words. Its a simple, effective, natural method that works with the brain, instead of against it. From years of experience, we know there is only one reading method that works every time, with every student. No other method even comes close. Please see the Scientific Evidence page for more information and explanation. 13. What is the cost of your program? Ordinarily, the cost per hour is comparable to fees charged by typical learning centers and tutors. However, the overall cost tends to be significantly less. The primary reason for this is that we are able to equip students to read successfully in a remarkably short period of time relative to how they would have fared with conventional approaches. Please call for a free, no obligation reading assessment and consultation. After testing, we will be able to give, for your consideration, an informed analysis of the ways we will be able to help your child, how long that may take, and what the estimated expenditure will be. Note: We will never require you to commit to a long-term contract.

SPECIALIZED READING INSTRUCTION: Academic Associates Reading Course is a phonetic program based linguistically on the 44 sounds we use in English. There are 13 lessons, and each one focuses on decoding rules. A lesson takes as long as a student needs to be able to retain and apply those rules. With the first lesson, the student learns the five short vowels and the sixteen consonants that have only one sound. Then the student uses those tools to sound out 300 words. The Academic Associates Reading Program focuses on teaching the 44 sounds of the English language and the rules as to when the letter or combination of letters makes their distinctive sounds. At the Academic Associates Reading Center, students are given the tools to unlock words. They become able to sound out words correctly. The 220 words on the Dolch word list are meant to be sight words for children, but only five are sight words. The remaining 215 words can be unlocked! (See Dolch word list.) Instead of trying to memorize words, students will be empowered to read thousands and thousands of words. Using the Academic Associates Reading Program, nonreaders can be reading 300 words in just 2 hours. That's powerful! COMMOM CORE MATH: Our tutors know and understand the common core math curriculum and will help your child understand the concepts necessary to pass the state exam. The new Common Core standards for mathematics are designed not only to improve the standard approach to teaching and learning math, but also to inspire students to pursue futures in mathematics, science, and technology. We are adding Common Core Math to our services because we understand that many parents are too busy and / or unable to assist their children. We provide this service as a resource for parents who need it, or who believe their child may benefit from it.

They help my son who was strugging on reading
I that you can let the instructors know you're concerns and areas of struggle that your child is having and they will work them. And the cost is reasonable.
Mrs.Wilson is an extremely kind caring and patient teacher; thinks outside the box and goes above and beyond to meet the individual needs of each student. Mrs.Wilson uses positive reinforcement to motivate and encourage each student to reach their full potentional. I would recommend Academic Associates without a shadow of a doubt your child will be in the best hands possible.
