Who Should Attend Pathways’ Literacy Builders?
We want every child to be safe and successful.
Please review the registration criteria below before signing up.
Your child is an ideal fit if they meet all of the following:
Age/Level: Is 6–9 years old (or reading at a Grade 1–3 level).
Social Interest: Enjoys participating in group environments like organized activities, sports, and recess.
Goal: Would benefit from targeted support with early reading and literacy development.
Communication: Can effectively communicate (verbally or via AAC/augmentative modalities) to follow along, engage in group activities, and express their needs.
Group Safety: Can thrive safely in a group with a 1:4 adult-to-child ratio. The child must not become aggressive, highly dysregulated, or disruptive, as 1:1 support is not available.
Important Note: To ensure the safety and success of all participants, we reserve the right to remove any child from the program who does not meet these participation or safety requirements. Removals are non-refundable.
If you are unsure if your child meets this criteria, unsure if your child is ready for a group program, unsure about your child’s support needs, it is impossible for our Intake Team to decide this for you without knowing your child. If your child is currently a client at Pathways, please discuss group programs with your child’s clinician(s). If you are NEW to our clinic, it may be best to book an Initial Consultation with a SLP, OT, or Parent Coach to gain a clearer understanding of your child’s readiness.
