Stretch and Catch Reading Center

Stretch and Catch® is a results driven reading center with a proprietary method of teaching reading to all students at all reading levels.

The Stretch & Catch Method uses your fingers to STRETCH out a word, look for the pattern within the word, and then CATCH the word, in order to read the word. https://t.co/8QilKntIBq #FAQ

Don't allow the summer slide, help your child ROCKET to success this summer!
The summer slide is a decline in reading ability and other academic skills that can occur over the summer months when school isn't in session.

3rd grade is the last year a child "learns to read." If a child is not a proficient reader when he begins 4th grade, as much as half of the curriculum he will be taught will be incomprehensible.

During 2nd grade, a child should be able to identify more complex spelling patterns and use those patterns to decode unknown words while reading.

In 1st grade, students begin to understand the difference between short and long vowels. They can also read & spell "irregular" spelling words, such as come and have.

Reading 20 minutes a day exposes kids to a vast quantity of words. In fact, this exposure makes children more likely to score in the 90th percentile on standardized tests.

Long vowel sounds appear in many patterns such as ai, ay, ea, ee, igh, iCC, ow, oa, ue, ui. At Stretch & Catch, students learn these patterns so they can read words like rain, tree, boat, and play.

The letter R is the bossiest letter in the alphabet! When a vowel is followed by r, the r takes over the sound, like in car, bird, turn, and corn.

Words like make, bike, and hope follow the vowel–consonant–e (vCe) pattern. The silent “e” changes the vowel from short to long.
JACK vs JAKE
MACK vs MAKE
HOP vs HOPE
CUT vs CUTE
KIT vs KITE

The letters M & N before a consonant can be hard to hear because the /m/ & /n/ sounds go up our nose like in lamp, hand, or song. Kids typically omit the M and N in these words when they spell them.

A diphthong is when two vowels blend together to create a new sound, like oi in coin or ow sound in house. Listening for these sounds during reading builds stronger phonics skills.

At Stretch & Catch, we teach students about digraphs, when two letters work together to make one sound like sh, ch, th, and wh. When reading with your child, point out these pairs and practice saying the sound together.
