Stritch Family Literacy Center

Personalized Literacy Assessment

Before instruction begins, our professional literacy team individually evaluates each child’s strengths, reading levels, and needs in literacy components including phonological awareness, decoding, spelling, fluency, comprehension, writing, and academic success skills using nationally recognized research-based tools.

You’ll receive a detailed report explaining your child’s reading strengths and areas for growth, along with a personalized plan for instruction.

Individualized Instruction

After the initial assessment, our professional team maps a learning plan to meet each student’s goals. Each lesson is tailored to your child’s specific learning profile and interests. Our certified Master Instructors deliver one-on-one lessons that are engaging, flexible, and continuously adapted based on progress.

Students receive targeted instruction in the following five key areas*:

Phonemic awareness
Phonics
Fluency
Vocabulary
Comprehension
*As outlined by the National Reading Panel with specific integration of the Wisconsin State Standards for reading, writing, and critical thinking.

All curriculum is based on research-proven literacy strategies and engaged motivation, through inspiring reading self-confidence and independence. To promote success, we provide high interest material and careful monitoring of weekly and monthly progress.

Continuous Progress Monitoring

Progress doesn’t stop at the lesson. Our instructors track each student’s improvement week by week and communicate regularly with families. We also hold follow-up conferences and share progress reports to celebrate success and plan next steps.

Partnering with Families and Schools

At the Stritch Family Literacy Center, families are an essential part of every child’s learning journey.

We communicate with families weekly about progress, new reading goals, and ways to support learning at home. All records are confidential, but families may choose to share information with schools or invite our instructors to join school conferences.

We also offer flexible scheduling options to fit your family’s needs.

At Home: Families can help their children at any age by reading to them daily. Children should be encouraged to select books for read-alouds. Conversation about stories and information assists children in expressing ideas and forming opinions and lays the groundwork for vocabulary and language essential.
