At Meek & Meadow Literacy, we’re committed to using research-based practices rooted in the Science of Reading. These proven methods guide everything we do, ensuring your child receives effective, evidence-based instruction tailored to their needs. Our approach is built around the five essential components of reading:

1. Phonemic awareness involves helping children hear, identify, and manipulate the individual sounds in words. It is an essential foundation for both reading and spelling.

2. Phonics teaches the relationship between sounds and letters, enabling children to decode unfamiliar words.

3. Fluency is the ability to read with accuracy, appropriate speed, and expression. Strong fluency supports overall comprehension and enjoyment of reading.

4. Vocabulary refers to the words children understand and use, both written and oral. A strong vocabulary enhances reading comprehension and effective communication.

5. Comprehension is the ultimate goal of reading. It ensures that children not only read the words but also understand, reflect, and connect with what they’ve read.

By integrating these five pillars into every session, we help your child build a strong foundation in reading, supporting both skill development and a lasting love for reading.
