ALS enrichment provides opportunities for identifying the needs of students. Reteaching and remediation are provided in classroom instruction and computer assisted instruction. All classes provide time for spelling activities as scheduled. Homework is provided for spelling activities. Teachers coordinate lessons when needed for individual students.
Teachers are willing to collaborate about students and their needs.
Classroom teachers and the resource teacher work together to provide an effective and smooth transition between regular classroom activities and special programs for students. The ALS computer program teaches skills to each student on their academic level, creating individual programs based on their strengths and weaknesses. Each child is provided with two hours of scheduled time to utilize the computers in the lab with part of that time used to work on spelling words. Since the spelling series comes as a part of the selected reading and language arts series, it is consistent and allows students to have more success. Spelling lists are sent home which enable parents to better help their child with spelling.
