Who We Are We Create Something New
Our Mission
Reading Rookies' staff wants to cultivate pre-reading and reading skills to enable children to have a life-long love for reading. We recognize that children have different learning styles. We embrace these differences and engage the children through multi-sensory activities that will help your child build confidence in his or her abilities and inspire your child to be a life-long learner.
Atmosphere
A day in the life of a Reading Rookie class
- The enrichment classes engage students in fun, thematic activities that will build on your child’s knowledge of letters, sound recognition and sound blending. Each week we focus on 2-3 letters while combining play and learning. Through the use of fun, multi-sensory academics, games, crafts and stories, your child will gain the knowledge necessary to better prepare for reading and spelling.
- Our enrichment classes are structured for Pre-K children, ages 4–6.
- The classes meet once a week.
About Our Founders
For more than 20 years, Carol Irgang and Wendy Moskovitz have been classroom teachers, private tutors, trainers and instructors for a well-known structured, multi-sensory reading program, working with teachers one-on-one and teaching seminars. In 2013, they decided to combine their knowledge and experience and design reading enrichment programs for 4-6 year-old children. This is an important age in which to get your child excited about letters, sounds and reading. Carol & Wendy believe that with a solid letter/sound base children will be primed for success in school and life.
What We Believe
The teachers at Reading Rookies are united in their belief that all children:
- Have the power to learn
- Have different learning styles
- Are curious & creative
- Can succeed
No two students have exactly the same skills or learning style. That’s why we teach using multi-sensory learning. While students use all their senses, lessons and skills will reach all learning styles.
