    The Learning Lab

    Our Learning Lab program is based on the Response to Intervention (RTI) model. RTI is a multi-tiered approach to early intervention. Teachers use data to target students' individual needs and inform instruction.  The Learning Lab program is coordinated with the classroom curriculum and provides supportive services for the students.  Children receive supportive instruction daily by working one to one or in small groups.  The Learning Lab is not special education.

     

    Be Sure to Read at Home

    You can help your child develop in reading by providing a literature-rich environment for him/her. Read to him/her as much as possible to model fluency and expression. Talk to him/her about the stories you read. Make it fun as you check for understanding by talking about funny parts or favorite parts. Ask questions about the characters, setting, problem and solution in the stories and ask him/her to retell the stories focusing on the main events in the beginning, middle and end.

    Be proud of your child's accomplishments. When your child gets frustrated, keep your cool and be a cheerleader for him/her. Watch your child's confidence and pride soar as he/she see how excited YOU are about his/her reading.
