Lower School Literacy

Forum's Lower School Literacy tutors combine premier classroom experience from elite private schools with specialized training in reading science and writing development. Selected through our extraordinarily selective process (accepting just 1 in 60 applicants), these career educators understand both the neuroscience of literacy acquisition and the art of nurturing young communicators. Each family works with a dedicated Educational Advisor who ensures the ideal student-tutor match while providing holistic guidance throughout their child's literacy journey.

Our comprehensive literacy approach addresses all dimensions of language development—from phonemic awareness and decoding to reading comprehension, writing mechanics, and creative expression. Tutors create dynamic, multisensory learning experiences tailored to each child's developmental stage and interests, building fundamental skills while fostering authentic enthusiasm for reading and writing. This personalized methodology helps students develop both technical proficiency and genuine connection to language, transforming potential challenges into strengths. Parents consistently share that our tutors not only improve academic outcomes but fundamentally shift how their children experience reading and writing—from potential sources of frustration to avenues for discovery and self-expression.
