Blooming Buds Tutoring does not use one set curriculum. However, our tutors are trained in the Ortan-Gillingham approach to phonics (great for early readers or those who struggle with Dyslexia). We also have access to the UFLI Foundations Phonics Curriculum, and the CKLA Curriculum(Core Knowledge Language Arts).
Blooming Buds Tutoring is not about the materials we use, it is about the practices and methods we employ. Blooming Buds Tutoring is resourceful. We are constantly learning more through current research to adapt our practices to fit the needs of our students. We use a variety of educational resources to compile what we need to support student growth.
