Flex Reading
Why Choose the Reading Program?
A dramatic and positive link has been shown between reading for pleasure in early childhood and better cognition, mental health and academic attainment in later years. Reading plays a key role in healthy brain development and it is never to early to start reading with your child. This program is designed for early readers at the beginning of their reading journey.
Program Format
Crania’s Flex Reading program is offered year-round in a small group setting, with each student progressing at their own pace. Within a nurturing and encouraging environment, students engage in lessons, activities and spelling practice. The distribution of these activities is individualized to each student’s needs. Lessons are in 55-min slots. Parents choose what day and time they would like their child to attend during our operating hours, five days a week, commencing on the half-hour. All lessons must be scheduled in advanced, but days and times can be changed from week to week. Work to practice with at home is always available and recommended. Students complete regular assessments and frequent feedback is provided to parents.
Program Features
Focus on Confident Skill-Building
Careful attention is paid on students to ensure they are learning how to read in an efficient manner.

Students are encouraged to set aside some time at home to continue practicing, while maintaining a positive attitude towards reading!
