CURRICULUM
 

This Reading Curriculum builds a bridge from the ESL, and the Dialect Speaker to the Standard.
The teacher collects the children's playground game chants and songs and uses this material for reading, writing and spelling.

50% of all children are Right Brain dominant.
Teach to their strength!!

Right Brain READING / Spelling

(Train your child's photographic memory capability while teaching spelling at the same time!!   End of year spelling scores are dramatically increased.)

  • Use your child’s eyes, hands, hands and music  to access his visual hemisphere
  • No workbook practice necessary

 

Right   Brain  READING / Phonics   (great for "word guessers")

This method of teaching reading builds a student's word bank faster than any  other method, leading to 2 years gain in reading level for almost all students). For children who can remember the phonemes, but can’t sound out a long word.   Or, for the child who can’t remember the sounds of the letters, to start sounding out words.
