The Seth-Angel Zone is for children ages 6 - 8 years of age or grade levels 1 - 3. The goal is to provide a language rich environment including books, enriching language experiences, computer exercises and lots of fun ways to get children excited about learning. Students enrolled in this zone can expect improved skills in the following language and literacy areas:

• Oral expression

• Listening comprehension

• Following Directions

• Critical Thinking

• Fluency

• Vocabulary

• Reading Comprehension

• Writing skills

• Student Skills

The curriculum used in the Seth Angel Zone are the award winning Fast ForWord™ and Reading Assistant ®programs designed by Scientific Learning Corporation, and self-regulated learning techniques. Depending upon the needs of the student, a combination of these programs will be implemented on a cycle of about 4 - 16 weeks. Pre-and post-tests are used to measure student progress from the start to completion of a cycle. Parents can request to receive daily, weekly or monthly progress reports for their child. All of the literacy programs implemented are evidence-based and have more than 30 years of research support the efficacy of the system.

The after school program will begin in the fall of 2013. Check back for updates.

Summer is an important time for student learning. It has been well researched that students, who regularly read books or magazines over the summer, will return to school having maintained most of the skills gained the previous school year. However, students who do not read during the summer will lose many of the skills gained and enter school with a deficit. This is known as the summer reading gap. Our summer literacy program is an opportunity to provide students with a rich literacy adventure to help sustain and improve summer literacy challenges. It is designed for elementary age students in grade 1 through grade 3. Parents can expect research based techniques and students can expect their summer days filled with lots of fun and engaging activities. Students have improved in their overall language and literacy skills and have an experience that will make them want to return every summer.
