Intervention studies have demonstrated that one-on-one and small group instruction can assist in closing the gap for struggling and At-Risk students. Our teachers will provide intervention in no more than a one to five student ratio, as well as one-to-one instruction. Differentiated Instruction Plans will be developed for individual students based on the student’s performance on the Phonological Awareness Test, on-going criterion-based assessment from the Language Program and performance on Math Rescue Assessment Activities. Students receive assistance in reading by focusing on phonics, phonemic awareness, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension. The National Reading Panel asserts that any reading program or intervention program must include these five elements. Our certified teachers and Para educators utilize the following literacy programs to address these five elements.

W. Salome understands the classroom challenges students with learning disabilities face on a daily basis. From students with reading problems and auditory processing problems to those who are formally diagnosed as learning disabled, we will find the right tutor and right plan for each child.

Our programs seek to find creative ways to help students master subjects that have been a source of frustration due to learning disabilities. We help students understand their disability, accept it and find ways to overcome their challenges.

We work with parents, resource and special education teachers and students to compliment existing strategies and plans with our one-on-one tutoring. Our tutors are certified in special education or have special training and educational backgrounds that make them highly qualified experts with regard to your child's needs
