Magic of Reading and Writing
These are
our own innovative programs that allow children
to acquire strength in reading and writing in a
positive and fun environment.
All children
are welcome – they need not be receiving special
services in school to participate.
Activities that typically cause
frustration and off-task behavior have been
removed from these programs. You will find
books, games, and interactive learning
activities. The environment is EXTREMELY
positive, with teachers acting
as coaches, and mentors as buddies.
Children may enter at the start of any session.

program in action, click on the J & J

Magic
of Reading: Winter 2 Session 2010
Open for registration |
|
Description:
|
 Instructors:
Debi Jarvie, Carolyn Schmidt, and other
certified teachers.
This
is a reading program for
children ages 5-11 who
need a strong emphasis on strengthening reading
skills. We will emphasize decoding words, sight
words, building sentences, discussing stories,
the complexities of comprehension and gaining
confidence.
Comprehension and fluency are also considered.
Particular focus is placed on fluency and
sentence structure, which critically affect the
comprehension process.
Mentors attend as
reading buddies.
We occasionally visit The Chelsea at Montville
to demonstrate newly acquired skills and
confidence. Teachers will conduct very informal
assessments for program
placement and instruction only.

Description:

Instructors:
Debi Jarvie, Carolyn Schmidt, and other
certified teachers.
This
is new and already successful program created
to strengthen confidence and enhance the
creative writing skills of
all children in grades K-4, all general
education, and struggling learners.
The Magic of Writing complements our successful
Magic of Reading Program. Teachers will
use direct instruction in small groups to
develop organizational strategies for mastering
different writing styles. Editing skills, story
elements, sequential thoughts, and vocabulary
will be our focus during individual conferences with instructors.
Simple tools such as story webs and graphic
organizers will be utilized.
Mentors will be "buddies" to aid the children.
You may also register for Magic of Reading.
