Tutor Programs- Reading Rocks and JUMP Math. Structured intervention programs for literacy and math
Reading Rocks is an individualized reading intervention program designed by Brock University’s Dr. John McNamara, who specializes in Learning Disabilities. This program is designed for students who are performing a minimum of one year behind in the area of literacy due to a diagnosed, or suspected reading disability.
In addition to foundational literacy skills, Reading Rocks is an intervention approach that uses motivational tactics to engage children in the reading process. These tactics are designed to actively engage children in their own learning. The motivation tactics are engaged through the use of instructional workstations that tutors design and tailor to each child’s needs.
The Reading Rocks approach is designed to be delivered in a series of 1-hour instructional sessions.

JUMP Math a virtual program for students aged 8-14 who are performing a minimum of one year behind in the area of math due to a diagnosed, identified, or suspected math disability (dyscalculia), and who are showing signs of math anxiety.
Participants work in small groups (4) with a trained numeracy tutor to build foundational math skills and computational fluency. Sessions are taught using a combination of direct instruction and engaging math games and activities. Participants are also able to set goals and visualize their progress throughout the program in order to foster math confidence.
JUMP Math is a core classroom math program developed by Dr. John Mighton, OC, an award-winning mathematician, playwright, and best-selling author, who founded JUMP Math (Jumpmath.org)
