WHO CAN APPLY?
First, consult with your child's teacher or interventionist, as a teacher recommendation is required before parents apply. Due to the nature of our program, we only can accept students who may have decoding difficulties or disabilities. Students have a decoding difficulty if they are in grade K-2 and exhibit the following behaviors:
-
difficulty hearing or "breaking apart" the sounds within words
-
difficulty recalling the alphabet
-
difficulty naming letters
-
difficulty forming or recalling the sounds that letters make
-
frequent errors when reading aloud
MY STUDENT HAS/DOESN'T HAVE AN IEP; CAN THEY APPLY?
Special Education status is not a factor. We are here to help students who haven't mastered the code-- yet.
HOW DO I APPLY?
Student recommendations are now closed. Please complete the following form if interested in the Summer or Fall 2023 cohort.
Please note that a student's DIBELS (reading data from the school) is the primary factor in determining his/her need and fit for the program.
WHERE IS THE CLINIC?
The Clinic runs in two locations.
