Beginning Readers (Grades 1-2)
Our Beginning Readers (BR) program is for bright children entering 1st or 2nd grade who struggle with pre-reading and language skills. They may have been formally diagnosed with a specific learning disability (SLD) or a language-based learning difference (LBLD) such as dyslexia; or identified as "at risk" in an early literacy screening.
In the morning, Orton-Gillingham trained educators lead small classes of highly tailored academic instruction for our early learners. In the afternoon, children enjoy some fun summer activities.

Orton-Gillingham Focus Area
Working in small groups with a trained Orton-Gillingham educator, children work on phonemic awareness, decoding (reading), and encoding (spelling) skills.
Oral Language Class
Children are thoughtfully grouped into small classes with an educator and teaching assistant to strengthen oral, memory, and comprehension skills.
Math Class
Using a multi-sensory approach, teachers use math games and activities to review and develop strong foundational math skills.
Activity Class
Each day includes a class that enhances the dyslexic strengths of children, such as science, art, or gym games.
Summer Fun Activities
Children enjoy afternoons filled with on-campus summer fun - including games, arts & crafts, water play, and more.
