Why Viva Phonics
One-On-One Learning
A virtual reading tutor guides your child through their reading journey. One-on-one instruction allows your child to receive full attention and is an overall more customized learning experience. Our goal is to instill confidence in readers and help them become self-sufficient learners.
Evidence-Based Reading Instruction
Explicit, systematic phonics instruction has been proven to be an effective method for teaching reading. The online phonics program follows a well-planned system that progresses step-by-step from learning the letter sounds to reading words, sentences and stories.
For Readers of All Ages
The online phonics resources are designed with older students in mind. Readers feel confident as they work on the targeted literacy skills without feeling self-conscious about their current reading ability. Middle school and high school students who need a review of foundational reading skills will feel comfortable learning from the online phonics resources.
Sessions Are Frequent and Engaging
The National Reading Panel’s study on teaching children how to read found that shorter sessions were more effective than longer programs. Each online session with Viva Phonics is focused, direct, and targets the necessary skills that help students become successful readers. Frequent lessons provide students more opportunities to practice and master new skills.
Flexible Payment Options and Scheduling
We offer weekly and biweekly payment options. Once you’re ready to get started, we can discuss how to best include the reading lessons into your child’s schedule. Progress checks are completed every 6 weeks and you have complete access to all program materials. Rates start at $65 per week.
About Viva Phonics
I’m Angelica and I created this online reading intervention program when I started working 1:1 with students who struggled with reading. I found that many times students were being sent home with sight word lists that had no logical pattern and included words that could easily be decoded. Students weren’t able to blend simple words and when they didn’t know a word they would just guess!
The only way to fill the skills gaps was to relearn to read. Starting from scratch ensured that students had the foundational skills needed to grasp more complex concepts within the Viva Phonics program and beyond.
After more than a century of frustration, it has now been shown that the brain can be rewired and that struggling children can become skilled readers. Sally Shaywitz, M.D., Overcoming Dyslexia
