Group Programs for Summer 2008We are offering a number of group sessions this summer. We will use materials that have proved to be highly effective and enjoyable—and are taught best through group sessions. Summer discounts are available for early signups! Save on these summer programs by committing before June 1, 2008.
All of our summer programs employ Precision Teaching to assure that students are mastering the materials they are learning. We build skills to fluent levels as quickly as possible—this means that each skill will be retained, be useful, and be applied to a large number of more complex operations. Kindergarten FAST START! Get Ready for Kindergarten!Students prepare for kindergarten by learning critical skills for success. We will provide phonemic awareness, beginning phonics, number and letter recognition and formation, and handwriting practice. Children will gain skills and confidence for a successful beginning in school. This course will meet four times weekly for two hours each meeting. Scheduled in two-week blocks to provide flexibility to your summer schedule.
Call to register your child! Other hours are possible if we have sufficient students. Transition from Kindergarten to First Grade!Students prepare for first grade by learning critical skills for success. We will provide phonemic awareness, beginning phonics, number and letter recognition and formation, and handwriting practice. We will also work in comprehension of materials that are read to the children, building their ability to understand materials that they hear. We will begin our phonics-reading program and use selected stories to help students become confident readers. Like the Fast Start program, we will offer this program in two-week segments to suit your summer schedule.
Students will be assessed prior to beginning of each segment to assure that they are prepared to participate in the group. Assessment is delivered individually rather than in the group.
