Cost depends on whether materials are already available in the school lab. This program is a very cost-effective way to provide individualized instruction in English literacy and job skills at the same time. It makes good use of computer labs, frequently idle in the evening, and stimulates family interaction and community involvement in the school. This program is designed for families to provide reading and writing enrichment at home, using the home computer. Sometimes older sibs are very helpful tutors and can also attend the coaching sessions.
Children can proceed at their own pace using the computer.
CNS will train the teacher who does the coaching at a one-day workshop. We like to follow-up with a second 3 hour visit, to observe classes in action, answer questions and provide suggestions. More comprehensive discussion of reading research and the importance of writing as a route to reading. CEU credit from Dominican College. Right-Click the link to download the file.
