Your Own Personal Teacher... From the Comfort of Home
Click below to play a sample Core Video from our RICA Online Prep program. This particular video focuses on the three indicators of fluency: accuracy, rate, and prosody. These indicators of fluency are good to know for the multiple choice section of the RICA, but are also extremely valuable on the the constructed response and case study section, where assessing a child's fluency is a very common topic.
When you purchase any of our RICA Online Prep programs, you'll get Core Videos like this one covering every key reading instruction, assessment, word analysis, fluency, vocabulary, academic language, background knowledge, and comprehension concept you need to pass. You'll learn the same key subject matter you would in our live classes, as well as strategies for success on the various multiple choice and constructed response question types you can expect on the exam, including the case study. Then, once you are confident with the underlying subject matter, you can watch our Smart-STEM Virtual Tutoring videos, in which a tutor will show you how to apply your knowledge to the specific question types you are most likely to encounter on the actual test.
Both our Core Videos and Smart-STEM Virtual Tutoring videos are included in all our Online Prep programs!
