Ms. Cacciatore uses story writing as a fun, creative, imaginative way to learn.  Jessie and Sophie look forward enthusiastically to their lessons every week.”

Students are evaluated through a series of assessments to determine strengths and weaknesses.   The assessments evaluate reading, writing, and comprehension.  This provides a thorough picture of the student’s ability and level.   An assessment is recommended for students struggling at their present grade level.    Students are evaluated once again after 3-4 months of instruction.

Assessment and Evaluation

All students differ in learning styles, ability, level, strengths, and weaknesses.  The benefits of an individualized plan of instruction are far- reaching for the student.  The differences between classroom learning with 25-30 students per teacher and learning with a one-on-one literacy specialist who is equipped with your child’s individual evaluation are incomparable.  The gains are seen almost immediately.        

Individualized Instructional Plan Using Research-Based Methods

A private, one teacher/one student, session.  This environment is proven to be the most effective in helping students reach their highest potential.  Students are guided and given immediate feedback, which allows the learning to progress at a rapid pace. 

There is no better way to learn than with the individual attention and guidance of a literacy specialist.   It is impossible for a teacher with small groups or large classrooms of students to give your child the undivided attention he or she deserves and needs.          

Instruction in all academic areas, including primary math-algrebra.
