Rx for Discovery Reading is a reading program designed for children
ages 6-18 who struggle to read.
The National Reading Panel established the essential foundational skills necessary for reading and this is the focus of this program.
This multi-sensory approach to developing reading is a fun and effective approach to building and strengthening reading skills.
6 Weeks, sessions are
9-11am Fee: $175 + supplies, minimum 6 students in each session to hold program
Instructor: Amanda McBreen, NILD certified Educational Therapist
Supplies Required: Hand-held sized white board with fine point dry erase markers and eraser. Index cards on a ring or spiral bound, NILD Blue book and Blue Book supplies (will be acquired through instructor at cost)
Rx for Math
Rx 4 Math is specifically intended for students in grades K-5 who would benefit from early intervention or whose basic math skills are below expected standards as determined by a local educational agency.
RX 4 Discovery Math will build and strengthen number sense, math fluency, math vocabulary, and problem solving strategies within the weekly small group sessions. Students who need to master basic number sense skills as well as those who rely on procedural understanding without a conceptual understanding would benefit the most from this program.
Students will be challenged to apply their growing understanding of number sense to novel problem solving activities that challenge thinking and reasoning. Hands-on, research-based, number sense activities will be utilized as the core content in this dynamic intervention while mediation, Socratic questioning, and the strengthening of cognitive functions will serve as the core methodology. In this dynamic intervention, students' foundational math concepts will be strengthened while their thinking and problem solving skills will be challenged, all within an atmosphere where math anxiety is reduced and thinking is maximized.
Supplies: NILD math book (acquired by instructor at cost), deck of playing cards, set of 6 dice (preferably colored), small hand-held
sized white board with fine point dry erase markers and eraser. Index cards on a ring or spiral bound.
6 weeks Session runs 12-2:00 Fee: $150 + supplies minimum 6 students needed to hold program
