Metra Structured Tutoring has been recognized as a leader in reading education and has been selected for the National Diffusion Network, nominated as a promising practice in Right to Read, and written up in the Harvard Education Review. The program has had a profound impact on the lives of thousands of teachers and tens of thousands of students.
No two students are the same and Metra Structured Tutoring recognizes this. To meet the diverse needs of every student, the program uses a personalized, one-on-one tutoring model based on psychologically sound techniques.
A thoroughly researched and proven phonetics and language arts based tutoring program, Metra Structured Tutoring boosts test scores by including instruction in phonemic awareness such as identifying sounds and "hearing" sounds to produce spelled words, phonics such as blending and decoding (successfully reading unencountered phonetic words), sight vocabulary (reading high frequency, non-phonetic vocabulary on sight), writing, written spelling, comprehension, vocabulary development, fluency, and outside reading. When used as directed this program has never failed to produce strong, confident readers!

"When you go into a Companion Reading classroom you can't tell the slow learner from the faster learners because it's a program that keeps them all together. It's very well paced."
“The children start reading from day one – they believe they can read from the very start which builds not only reading skills, but confidence. Companion Reading systematically builds and builds. My reading average this year on the standardized test they gave my students was 94.5."
