The Reading Studio (located on the Upper West Side of Manhattan) offers one-on-one tutoring sessions with Reading Specialist Alayne Sayles, author of Alphie And The Alphabets.

"Deeply Committed Reading Help
Alayne Sayles is a compassionate, dedicated teacher who makes a point of finding a way to connect with every child. Her sing-along materials are inspired and her insights into kids' learning styles and issues are invaluable." -- Laura G. (mother of two children)

Sessions are designed to help children gain self-confidence, to build a strong reading foundation, to develop reading fluency, and to acquire several reading strategies.

Alphie And The Alphabets is part of the Studio's 'literacy through music' program.
The Alphie sing-along method is a memory device which facilitates learning to read using original reading songs that have proven successful for hundreds of children.

Phonics and whole language are introduced through song, story, and music.
Children enjoy reading and singing daily at home using tapes that they
themselves record during tutoring sessions.

Alayne Sayles is state certified in reading, nursery, and elementary education. She is an ASCAP songwriter and has written songs for children of all ages.
