Reviews 1 — Reading In Preschool

“I have to say the CONFIDENCE that she has built in my children has been amazing. Scar is on her way to fully reading and Brooks has catapulted to a whole new level. I am not one to tutor but I am one for confidence and education and I have to say she has made a huge difference in my children’s lives. I’ve seen firsthand how her method works, and am excited to be able to share her information with everyone!
”

— Molly Sims – Los Angeles

“I like it alot.. your class is fun”

— 5 year old -NYC

This little cutie was so excited to see her teacher online the next day that she asked her mom to film her doing her Reading in PreSchool homework to send to her.
A great teacher inspires a love of learning! Shout out to @Samlopinto

“Love this program. ” – @gin.516 – NY

Thank you @jackiebrogadir for sharing the video!

“In the few months that our son has been working with Reading In PreSchool, his world has opened up as he has starting to string letters together into words and sentences. As a psychotherapist, I have spent much of my career working with children and I have been so impressed by Liz’s ability to emotionally connect with our son, capitalize on his strengths and actually (at the age of four) get him to start reading and to be excited about doing so. She is effectively able to use play and humor to appeal to his intellect and her lessons are tailored to his needs.Liz has been able to cultivate a love of learning and reading in our child at an early age because she understands his abilities and is so encouraging and enthusiastic. This is something his teachers have been unable to do. I know that the lessons he is learning with Liz will continue to help him as he embarks on bigger challenges and we are so grateful.”

— Katherine H. – Child Psychologist in Brooklyn, NY

“After one lesson my daughter’s entire attitude toward books changed from negative to positive, and she’s now reading and loving every minute of the lessons and begging me for books.  My honest opinion is this is one awesome program. Book yourself a reading tutor!”

— Valoree H.  Harlem, NY

“Liz a phenomenal instructor. She developed a unique system that introduces reading to preschoolers. It is highly effective; my 3 year old was reading full sentences after just one summer! Our daughter is now in kindergarten and she loves reading so much that she even published her own book!”

— Laly, UES, 2019

“Emma’s experience with you was amazing!  Emma was 6 when we started. She wasn’t reading on her own and we started noticing her progress within the first month. Now she is now 8 and reads chapter books! Alicia will be ready for lessons soon!”

— Maria P.  UWS, NYC

“Wow!  This business produces real results!A friend used their services and saw their 4 year old jump to a second grade reading level within 6 months!We had the same astounding results with our 6 and a half year old daughter who jumped 7 levels, from B to J with in less than 4 months.”

—  -P. M. Battery Park, NYC

“Our reading tutor was a phenomenal instructor. She developed a unique system that introduces reading to preschoolers. It is highly effective; my 3 year old was reading full sentences after just one summer! Our daughter is now in kindergarten and she loves reading so much that she even wrote her own book”

— Laly K. Manhattan, New York, NY

“Liz and Reading in Preschool was the best choice for my daughter. My daughter Emma was 3 and she loved to read. Liz was very good with her lesson plans and the reading really just took off from there. Start them young and they will develop a love of reading. ”

— Annie M. Gramercy, NYC, 2013

“Emma is now in First Grade and was tested and passed the third grade reading proficiency test! All thanks to you! We’ve moved, but please ship me your workbooks so I can start your program with Ella!”

— Annie M – 2016

“LOVE LOVE LOVE!
My daughter LOVES reading now!. She is so proud and happy – just 6 weeks later (she was working on letters already) SHE IS READING. It is perfect – Liz comes to the house, natural, organic and no schlepping. Liz can adjust the times to longer as the child needs/wants.”

— S R. UWS.

“My girls have always attended great progressive schools that emphasize reading ‘readiness’ over actual reading. My older daughter who was four at the time, explained to me that she really wanted to learn to read. I knew the school would not officially begin teaching reading until 1st grade, and I wanted to support her in her desire to learn.

Liz came highly recommended by a former colleague and classmate from Yale, who raved that Liz had taught her children to read and that they were several years beyond their classmates.

Liz has not disappointed; I’ve always been thrilled with the her work with my girls. She challenges them in a gentle and nurturing way, and she makes house calls which is so convenient. Even my youngest daughter who started with Liz at age 3, and who prior to the classes used to say that “reading is stupid”, can now read at a 2nd grade level and hasn’t yet started kindergarten!
Both girls have seen Liz twice a week for about a year, and it has been a very positive experience. Thanks Liz!”

— Jeff. W. Harlem

“My 5 year-old-daughter has improved so much in her literacy skills. Since she’s not an native english speaker, I was concerned about her school year in kindergarten. After just a few months with a Reading in Preschool tutor, she is up to par! Thanks!”

— Rachel R. Battery Park

“Reading was always a struggle with my 7 yr old daughter. After a couple of months with two wonderful tutors (Alison & Claire) I have noticed the confidence building and reading has become a real pleasure. You have truly changed our everyday (homework) lives!! Thank you Reading In Preschool! I would highly recommend their services! Liz is so accommodating and really knows how to match her teacher’s with kids. Thank you Thank you Thank you! ”

— Samantha R. Battery Park

“Liz has been nothing short of amazing with both of my children. They both adore her. We started when my son was 5 years old. He had so much success so quickly we started our 3 year old daughter. Our daughter who is now 4 is reading at a kindergarten level. I would highly recommend Liz and her team to anyone who is interested in accelerating their children’s reading abilities.”

— Rose C. UES

“My son (in kindergarten) was having some trouble with letter recognition and letter sounds at the beginning of Jan. We started working with Reading in Preschool once a week and after just 2 classes I began to notice significant change, not just only in what he was now able to do on his own and recognize -but in his confidence and attitude towards learning. Two and a half months later, he can’t wait for his weekly session, he is excited to show his tutor the work he did during the week, he has started to write in a “diary” daily, sounding out words bigger then him and writing pages upon pages for hours. His tutor Dominique has found a way not just to relate to him but to connect and teach him in a way through creative play and games so he doesn’t even realize he is doing “work”. Each week she brings new tools and word play to engage him and he can’t wait to see what’s next. His teacher just reassessed him this past week and not only did he know every single letter /upper and lower combo but mastered all sounds 100% which he only knew about 1/8 of a couple of months ago. It has been incredible watching him grow and learn in such a short period of time.”

— Cari G. Battery Park City

“If there were more STARS to give Liz would have them all. She is amazing. We have been using Liz for about a year and a half. I have a 5 year old and a 3 year old. My 5 year old started reading this past spring (after 10 months at age 4 years and 10 months), and is now on chapter books. My 3 year old is beginning to read short words. The best part about Reading in Pre school is that my children LOVE going to their lesson. It is not a chore for them to have a reading tutor. Having Liz has helped them to develop an even better relationship with books, reading, writing and studying overall. My children run to the door when Liz arrives, and they are eager for their lessons. Her patience is bar none. She makes reading and writing fun for the children. I would highly recommend Liz to anyone who is looking to teach their children to read or even just develop a love for learning. She is the best!”

“I year later and both kids are a grade level ahead!! I recommend this program without reservation. Best return on investment I have ever received. Thank you Liz!”

— Seanna Thompson, NYC

“Liz is amazing! Through reading games she provides the tools needed to succeed. In a few short months my child not only became an independent reader but an avid one and now reads two grade levels ahead. Liz makes learning fun and inspires kids to reach their full potential.”

“3/17/2018

My son is in Kindergarten and we started using Reading in PreSchool in the beginning of the school year. He has OT and speech issues so he is pulled out of class a lot and we thought this would be a great way to supplement what he gets in school and make up for the time he misses.
When he started Kindergarten, not only could he not read but he seemed to have no interest. Elizabeth (Liz) connected us with her tutor Emily who was a perfect match for our son and thanks to Reading in PreSchool, he has not only started to read but he loves it! Emily plays games with my son, which he loves and which get him excited about words and reading.

Each week, she gives him flashcards to study and now that he is starting to read, they also make up stories and during the week, he reads them in preparation for his next lesson. They are usually silly which he loves and since he helps to write them, not only is that more exciting for him but he loves to read them to the rest of the family. Emily also works with him on writing letters and drawing pictures which helps him with his OT issues as well – amazing! Moreover, each month they email the parents a detailed progress report which tells you what they’ve been working on, what the goals are for the next month, and areas of improvement. This information is useful for everyone but can be especially helpful for working parents who cannot be around during the lesson. Reading in Preschool has been invaluable for my son.

Going into First Grade a whole grade ahead in the Fall! Thank you!!!!!!”

— Gillian M.

“Beginning of 1st grade, we learned that our son is on the tail end of entire grade in reading readiness. With Liz’s approach (we worked with both, liz and Katie) he went from level A to level J in 6 months. And we think he caught the reading bug along the way! Moving on to chapter books. Would highly recommend!”

— Alina A, West Village, NYC

“We have used Reading in Preschool for the past two years and could not be happier! My daughter’s tutor was fun, creative and highly effective at teaching her all the basics of reading and writing. I couldn’t recommend them more! Ask for Katie!”

— A. UES, NYC

Preparing for Preschool Reading

Preschool teachers develop literacy by continually exposing children to oral and written language, and by building on prior knowledge and language experiences. Pictures, play, and the printed word combine with oral language to help your child understand the symbolic representation that underlies preschool reading and writing. Her teacher will use a variety of fun, engaging strategies in the classroom to develop preschool reading, such as:

• Reading aloud: A small group of children cluster around their teacher in the reading corner, listening intently as she reads The Cat in the Hat. She holds up the book so they can see the illustrations and talk about them. The teacher asks questions about the story and the children make predictions about what will happen next. By actively participating in the story, children acquire skills that will promote success in preschool reading.
• Poetry: Nursery rhymes, songs, and poetry are key parts of preschool reading. Listening to, and repeating, poetry is a wonderful way for children to learn phonemic awareness. That is the ability to notice and isolate the individual sounds, or phonemes, in words, like the “c” in cat or the “b” in bat — a key skill for success in preschool reading. Preschoolers first learn that speech is made up of sounds, syllables, and words indirectly from listening to stories, nursery rhymes, poetry, and conversations.
• Storytelling: Listening teaches story structure and helps children learn to predict outcomes. One advantage of storytelling (versus reading aloud from a book) is that you can change the story depending on how the children respond.
• The printed word: To understand how print works, preschoolers need to be surrounded by it — in books and magazines, in signs around the classroom, on bulletin boards, in labels on their clothes and possessions. They need to learn that written words correspond to spoken words, that words are composed of letters, and that sentences are made up of words with spaces between the words.
• The alphabet: Alphabet books and puzzles help children learn the relationship between sounds and letters, and give them practice recognizing and distinguishing letters.
• Writing and invented spelling: Writing is a key part of preschool reading. At preschool, your child will be encouraged to write captions for his pictures, to write stories about what he’s drawn, and to tell stories based on his experiences and imagination.
• Dramatic play: Children exercise their imaginations, practice their communication skills, and learn the subtleties of spoken language in dramatic play and dress-up games.
• Computers: A computer can be an important tool for children in learning to write. Because their small motor control is still developing, preschoolers often find it easier to find the letters they are looking for on the keyboard than to use a pencil to form them. The teacher will help them search for letters in the beginning and encourage them to read the words they are writing and then print them out.

With warm greetings from Fyokla

How long have they been in the forest? Day two? a week? In the impenetrable forest, the sense of time and place is lost. Trees, ravines and even swamps are all the same. It will sag on the right, then it will crack on the left. Behind every bush is the ghost of Zakharushka. And here, as if from under the ground, a whole army of forest monsters is growing, shuddering with shaggy withers …

Whatever happens in the life of 11-year-old Sevka, he will definitely cope: the main thing is that there must be someone nearby who you can trust.

March 10-17

Photographs for memory

The story “Photographs for memory” covers several eras: post-war years, when the boys did not ask about their nationality, but won respect in the yard with strength, courage and football skills; the end of the 1980s, when the ending of the last name and the shape of the nose suddenly became the most important thing; and modernity, when the experienced conflict has not only remained in faded photographs, but again burns and hurts.

17 – 24 March

Where does the kumutkan go? My brother Bzou

The heroes of these stories are not similar to each other, but they are united by friendship, care for loved ones and wild animals. In the story “Where does the kumutkan go?” seventh-graders Maxim, Ayuna and Sasha live on the outskirts of Irkutsk. They are passionate about playing yard wars, orc attacks and ancient shamanic curses. The harsh game will gradually be replaced by an even harsher reality. The guys are waiting for tests on the ice of Lake Baikal, where they will be left without the help of adults and will save defenseless seal cubs.

March 24 – 31

Chronicles of Dragomir. Book 1

Dragomir, built on precious stones and minerals, and its inhabitants – good magicians and sorceresses – lived in harmony until the insidious witch Jadeida appeared. With the help of black books and their ancient keeper, she mastered the magic of all the elements, cast a terrible curse on Dragomir and unleashed a war that has been going on for 13 years now. Only the Moon can stop her – a girl born on the night of the curse. But where is she?

Zoom. Quarantine story

In this story of the story, each episode is inscribed in the general chronicle. ZOOM. Quarantine Story” by Elena Boroda is not just a chronicle of the last school semester, it is also a piece of a big story, when reality changes in a short time, and the life exam turns out to be more difficult than the exam.

April 7-14

Grigory without patronymic Babochkin

Two opposites come together, reveal something in each other that they themselves lack. It seems that this True Male Friendship will help both to cope with anything: with anxiety before the competition; with family difficulties and misunderstanding of loved ones; with bullying and ridicule. So it is – but only as long as the first love does not interfere in the matter …

April 14 – 21

Tin head

Zhenya + cane = Tin. Only Tin minus the hated cane – it will not be the old Zhenya. The plaster was removed, they were released to school, the scars are healing, but nothing will be the same as before. She is now locked in this body that is constantly rocking, hurting and cold and wanting to fight. Locked up like that guy in the robot suit with the peephole in his chest. Zhenya’s window, like a camera in a phone, snatches frames from reality: a white butterfly, blue sneakers, green ozobots on red trees. Three-liter jar with meat. Volume of Shakespeare. Mechanical cockroach…

April 21-28

I live here

Five stories included in the collection are united by the theme of growing up. That is why the reader can easily recognize himself and his experiences in them. And, perhaps, he will find answers to his questions: why look for common interests with peers, is it possible to maintain trusting relationships with parents, and why is it sometimes easier to defend one’s position among classmates than it seems…

April 28 – May 5

Gods are like people. Book 1

This story begins with earthly problems, but unfolds into an epic struggle between the gods and the collision of different worlds. Yagishna thought that she could never be happy again: her beloved Vladan had been killed, her native village was no more, and each new day brought only suffering. This grief could last for many years, but Yagishna learned that Vladan could be brought back from the dead. With the help of new friends – Mary and Kalen – the girl performs a dark and forgotten blood ritual…

5 – 12 May

Call me Jean Miller

Tenth grader Zhenya Vysotskaya is an absolutely uninteresting person. Both classmates and parents tell her about this without hiding. The daughter is a real disappointment, not a creative person at all. She has no special interests: except for watching movies and TV shows, translating lyrics, listening to music and reading – but are these really hobbies? Zhenya knows this herself. In an essay in an English class, she honestly admits: “I have no dreams.”
Unexpectedly, she becomes an unwitting witness to strange events: the younger brother of her classmate passes a package with something red to a stranger…
