Fostering Curiosity and Establishing a Biblical Worldview
As children move from learning to read to reading to learn, reading comprehension becomes paramount. We use structured literacy, a comprehensive approach to literacy instruction which addresses all of the foundational elements critical for reading comprehension. We also understand the importance of a strong phonics program; to that end, we have integrated Orton-Gillingham into our classrooms. Using this method, we are able to capitalize on multi-sensory instruction, thereby meeting the various needs of our students based on their intrinsic learning preferences.
