Details:
| Intake Assessment: | Intake assessments will take place (virtually) in June so that we have all the info needed to start the program running. |
| Make-Up Sessions: | Due to the program’s intensity, note there is no time available in the schedule for make-up sessions. Please expect to attend all sessions. |
| Option to stay: | The Summer Intensive is a stand-alone program. Ideally it will give your child the boost they need to not need extra support from here. If there is space in September, Summer-Intensive families will be given the choice to continue if they choose, however, this is not an expectation of the program. |
| Will it work? | Your child will receive a customized program targeted to their needs, 1:1 diagnostic teaching and lots of practice time. They should make progress. However, each child is unique so there will be variations in the amount of progress made. |
| Is this only for children with dyslexia? | This is for children completing kindergarten, grade 1 or 2 who are not progressing into reading as quickly as expected. There are many reasons for this, only one of which is dyslexia. |
| Will my child be able to focus for 50 mins? | I’ve been teaching online since before it was ‘cool’. I’ve worked with all sorts of kids virtually, and I can honestly say that I don’t find that it’s more challenging to engage them online than it is in-person. A lot of parents come with this concern, the assessment session is a good opportunity to get a sense of how things will go. |
| Will you teach pairs or small groups? | My focus with the summer intensive is to foster real growth in reading during the 5 weeks of the program. 1:1 sessions allow me to create individualized learning plans for each child and focusing on specific skill growth. To get the results I’m hoping for, this program needs to be a 1:1 program. |
