At Mariposa Reading Achievement Centre, we work with students of all ages who are unable to master reading and spelling.The Mariposa Reading Program starts with letter-sound relationships, creating a strong basis for further work decoding words in a logical process of segmenting and blending. Most parents recognize this phonics approach, also known as phonemic awareness, from elementary school; but Mariposa reinforces the individual student’s understanding with creative exercises at each skill level. The program enables students to develop reading and spelling skills with single syllables, then multi-syllable words, sentences, paragraphs, and short stories.Sharon Prest is the Regional Manager for Mariposa Reading Achievement Centre Ltd.
