Foundational Reading & Linguistics Course
Designed for students in grades 6-12 who are struggling with word recognition, phonological awareness, and decoding. The program follows a science of reading approach in providing systematic and explicit instruction to fill in foundational gaps that adolescent struggling readers will not close on their own or in a secondary Language Arts classroom.


Self-paced for the student.
Independent of teacher skill.
Designed and written by classroom teachers, literacy coaches, and reading experts.
The goals of ThinkCERCA’s Foundational Reading program is two-fold.
- To provide adolescent students with instruction over phonetic concepts and decoding that is age appropriate.
- Remove the stigma associated with being a struggling reader.
