2026 Summer Small Group Classes

🌟 Summer Small Group Classes

at Kentucky Language & Literacy Center (Georgetown, KY)
Led by Ms. Barb
👥 Limited to 4 students per group

 

If your child is still struggling with reading or spelling…
…and you’re tired of things “kind of helping” but not actually fixing the problem—

These small group classes are designed to do something different.

Instead of surface-level practice, your child will learn how language actually works—so skills start to stick.

💡 Why these groups are different

Most programs:

• Focus on repetition
• Rely on memorization
• Treat reading, spelling, and writing as separate skills

These classes use a language-based approach that connects:
👉 Sounds + Letters + Meaning 

👉 Much more than just phonics work

👉Integrates all systems of language consistent with a science of reading sounds-first approach 

So your child isn’t just practicing—they’re building a system that makes reading and spelling easier over time.

 

 

👨‍👩‍👧 What makes this worth the investment?

Your tuition includes more than group instruction.

✔ Small group (only 4 students) for targeted support
✔ Instruction based on sounds-first structured literacy principles
✔ Parent training materials for both literacy classes are included so you know exactly how to support your child at home

👉 That means progress doesn’t stop when the class ends.

The parent training materials teach allow you to continue supporting your child's success once the class ends.

You’re gaining a clear plan and tools you can keep using.

✏️ CLASS 1: Head-to-Hand® Writing Group

Build the foundation for reading and spelling through handwriting
Tues/Wed/Thurs for 3 weeks | 9 classes total | 4:30–5:20 PM | Begins week of June 1

Age: Elementary school

A language-based approach to handwriting that supports reading and spelling.
Includes parent training materials.

If your child:
Struggles with handwriting
Avoids writing tasks
Has difficulty forming letters or writing simple words

 

This more than just a handwriting class...

💡 What your child will learn
This program uses a language-based approach to handwriting, meaning students learn to:

• Connect sounds to letters as they write
• Build automatic letter formation
• Strengthen the foundation needed for spelling and written expression

🚫 Why typical handwriting practice falls short
Practicing letters over and over does not fix the underlying issue.

When handwriting is disconnected from language, progress is slow—and often doesn’t transfer to reading or spelling.

✅ What makes this different
Your child is learning a system that supports:

• Writing
• Spelling
• Reading
• All at the same time!

👨‍👩‍👧 Parent Value
You’ll receive access to parent training materials that show you:

• What your child is learning
• How to reinforce it at home
• How to avoid common mistakes that slow progress

💰 Tuition: $375

📚 CLASS 2: Head-to-Hand® Sight Word Group
Tues/Wed/Thurs for 3 weeks | 9 classes total | 5:30–6:20 PM | Begins week of June 1

Age: Elementary school

Move beyond memorization and learn how words work.

If your child:

• Struggles with common “sight words”
• Reads slowly or guesses
• Spells words inconsistently
• This group targets one of the biggest breakdowns in literacy.

🚫 The problem with traditional sight word instruction

Most programs teach kids to memorize words.

But memorization:

• Doesn’t stick
• Doesn’t generalize
• Doesn’t build real reading skills

💡 What your child will learn instead
Students are taught a sound-based system to:

• Break down high-frequency words
• Understand spelling patterns
• Apply strategies to new words

🎯 Personalized instruction
After registration, you’ll complete a short intake form identifying the words your child struggles with.

👉 These responses directly guide instruction in the group.

👨‍👩‍👧 Parent Value
You’ll receive access to parent training materials that teach you:

• How to support tricky words at home
• What to do when your child gets stuck
• How to find pattern in high-frequency sight words
• How to move beyond memorization

💰 Tuition: $375

🔬 CLASS 3: STEM Exploration Group
Tues/Wed/Thurs for 1 week | 3 classes total | 5:30–6:20 PM | Week of June 22

Age: Elementary School

A supportive, engaging group designed with neurodivergent learners in mind

This group provides a low-pressure environment where students can:

• Engage in hands-on STEM activities
• Build confidence in a group setting
• Practice problem-solving without academic pressure

💡 Designed intentionally for neurodivergent learners
This is not a typical fast-paced or overstimulating STEM class.

It is structured to support:

• Engagement without overwhelm
• Flexible thinking
• Positive group experiences

💰 Tuition: $125

 ⚠️ Important Notes

• Groups are limited to 4 students
• A minimum of 2 students is required for each class to run
