Why Choose Leaps in Literacy?*

Leaps in Literacy was created for students with diverse learning needs. The program can be adapted based on what they need the most support with. This can include decoding words, segmenting sounds, practicing letter formation, learning spelling patterns, and more.

Want to learn more about why we updated the program? We want to match the new Ontario Language Curriculum, the OHRC’s Right to Read report, and the Science of Reading.

As part of the intake process, students will complete a 30-minute assessment with an Centre for Diverse Learners staff member, and be placed in groups, with similar needs, that span a maximum of two grade levels (e.g., grades 1-2, 2-3, etc.). Tutors will work with children in small groups of 2-4 students via Microsoft Teams or in-person for one hour, twice per week for 8 weeks
