Air Education, Inc

Mission

Air Education, Inc. aims to provide all students with enriching learning experiences by combining the heart of human-to-human interaction with quality educational programming enhanced by technology. We were founded and launched our first service, Air Reading, in 2021, which provides 1:1 and small-group high-impact reading instruction direct to families and into schools’ classrooms and after-school programming.
 

Program Description

Air Reading is a high-impact tutoring program from Air Education, Inc. In synchronous, online sessions, Air Reading tutors provide small groups of up to 4 students with live, targeted reading instruction to meet their individualized needs based on the Air Reading systematic curriculum. The curriculum covers Pre-Kindergarten to Grade 6 reading skills and competencies.

Based on student information shared by the School or District about students’ reading level, skills and needs, and reading/learning needs, if available, Air Reading wil group students into small groups of up to 4 students based on level, skills and needs. Students will not be placed into a group working on a different reading level, so groups may vary in size.

Air Reading assigns a tutor to meet with the same group(s) of students consistently throughout their programming. Situations may require a tutor to request a substitute for an Air Reading session (e.g. Tutor has a medical issue or emergency), in which case Air Reading will assign a substitute tutor for that session.

Each Air Reading session is 40-minutes, where the tutor will provide direct instruction to students through a series of reading and literacy activities for about 25 minutes of the lesson, followed by a shared book reading for the remaining 15 minutes. The Air Reading curriculum is developed from evidence-based strategies on how we learn to read and provides students with engagement in phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary and comprehension, as relevant.

Air Reading sessions can be conducted during school hours, before school and after-school. We partner directly with families, and with schools, organizations and districts.
