1st-12th Grade Learners

Parents/Guardians: To get your child started at Cappi Wadley Reading and Technology Center please call 918-444-3313 to set up an appointment to meet our staff and enroll your child.

Tutoring
2nd Semester First grade through 12th grade students are assessed in phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, spelling, and reading comprehension. Based on the results, a customized reading tutoring plan is developed for each child. Sessions are one hour and include a variety of instructional activities and literacy games.

Assessments
Prior to beginning reading tutoring, each student will be given a set of formal or informal diagnostic assessments focusing on phonemic awareness, phonics, word recognition, fluency, vocabulary, oral reading, spelling, and/or reading comprehension. The purpose of the assessment is to accurately identify the student's strengths and weakness. The results of assessment will be used to determine each student's abilities in reading skills and to design instruction that will help students promote or
enhance their reading skills.

Instruction
Customized instruction is offered in a separate room equipped with multi-media in the clinic. The instruction is carefully planned based on the results of initial assessment and individual needs. Parents and teachers are welcome to observe any part of the assessment or tutoring session. The reading tutoring is between 30 minutes to one hour long. Children may enroll as early as second semester, 1st year through 12th students who need the services. Based on assessment data, students will either be placed with a face-to-face reading tutor or placed on a computer-based reading tutoring program. Our face-to-face tutors are education majors who desire to gain experience working with remediating reading issues. Our computer-based programs include MobyMax, Mindplay, Read Live, Reading Eggs, Headsprout, and Nessie. Data indicates students who utilize computer-based programs show similar gains in reading ability as students with face-to-face tutors.
