How is a reading tutor different from a reading specialist?

The International Literacy Association states the following about a reading specialist:

 Reading specialists provide expert instruction, assessment, and leadership for the reading program. With their advanced preparation and experience in reading, they are responsible for the literacy performance of all readers, in particular those who struggle.

What is prescriptive, individualized instruction?

 Prescriptive instruction provides practice with the specific skills your child needs.Individualized instruction further supports your child by applying strategies which accommodate their preferred learning styles (visual, auditory, or kinesthetic).

How quickly will my child progress?

Typically, students make three months of progress for every month (8 sessions) of instruction.
