Struggling readers often lack phonemic awareness skills, such as the ability to rhyme. Additionally, dyslexia is estimated to affect at least 20% of the population. Guided reading lessons include phonemic awareness activities and utilize a variety of hands-on strategies for dyslexia, such as movement and other sensory activities. https://www.earlyliteracyambassadors.com/programs/story-time monthly 0.5 2023-09-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8b84ccdeec236234bf2c3b/1597773039218-6Y0PW7PEK790S1HD3NDE/schedule%402x.jpg Programs - Story Time https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8b84ccdeec236234bf2c3b/1597773077317-GTGBOSL4OGTUYG1OU3BU/wand%402x.jpg Programs - Story Time https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8b84ccdeec236234bf2c3b/1597773059221-QMVA1SXW8CBZYHNAOCW6/boot%402x.jpg Programs - Story Time https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61dcc3e368ff1355933a9d3a/1641952474728-31EON3BMGCD5YXUKXX37/unsplash-image-EQlTyDZRx7U.jpg Programs - Story Time - Did You Know?
