This is the Final Call for the language arts assessment required for placement in a Reading Rally class. Individual assessments are being held the final weeks in August in preparation for fall enrollment. Sign up and pay for the assessment online ($125).
If you are wrestling with reading, fighting over phonics, confounded by comprehension, or struggling with spelling in your homeschool, consider Reading Rally at Compass. Compass offers 14 levels of this comprehensive Language Arts program. These are small group classes taught by 30+ year veteran reading specialist Catherine Vanlandingham. Reading Rally includes reading, comprehension, spelling, grammar, and writing. Most children do not need any additional curriculum or classes beyond the once-weekly meeting and homework. Reading Rally is $569 for 14 weeks.
Virginia’s public schools are failing far too many students. The NAEP’s 2024 “Nation’s Report Card” revealed that over two-thirds of Virginia’s 4th and 8th graders are not meeting reading benchmarks. Only 31% of 4th graders and 29% of 8th graders read at or above a proficient level — the equivalent of an F on any grading scale. Don’t let your child become another statistic. Reading Rally is designed to give homeschoolers the skills, confidence, and personalized support they need to excel in reading — setting them up for success far beyond the classroom.
