After School & Summer Programs
Overview 
The After School and Summer Programs are intended to provide kindergarten through fifth-grade students the opportunity to receive one-on-one remedial phonological and reading instruction. The student is first assessed to determine the specific weaknesses that need to be strengthened. A training program is then constructed to improve the deficient skills. The Summer Program provides the student with an excellent opportunity to fortify and enhance his or her phonological processing and reading skills during a time when schools are not in session. Students typically make minimal gains in academic performance over the summer months. The Summer Program is geared toward closing the gap between students who are weak in phonological processing and reading skills and those who are excellent readers. Lastly, parents are encouraged to assist their children at home by practicing the skill-building exercises with their children.
