Our reading program is individualized and adapted to the learning style of the student. Phonetically based programs as well as direct teaching use novels, poetry, and classical literature form the core of our reading instruction.

An integral part of our reading program focuses on developing comprehension skills. Our reading specialists and language pathologists participate actively in reading and writing instruction to facilitate students' abilities to process and classify information and content. Instruction in visualization techniques, sequencing of story events, making predictions, drawing conclusions and basic cause/effect relationships are central to our curriculum. Students are encouraged to participate in group discussions and to formulate written critiques of literature.

For students needing additional support, in decoding or comprehension, remedial instruction is available with one of our reading specialists either individually or in a dyad.
