The teachers at Wise Owl are experienced in working with students who learn differently. We use methodologies and materials recommended by the most current research and constantly reflect on individual student progress to determine the best course of action. See below for links to many of the programs we use for more information.
Our reading programs are based on Orton-Gillingham and Slingerland, emphasizing multisensory instruction that follows a logical scope and sequence that sets the student up for success. Lindamood Bell programs and others are also used as supplemental materials when needed.
Math instruction utilizes a variety of programs to help students master math facts, conceptualize math processes, follow an organized work format, and apply systematic strategies for following complex, multi-step math procedures. Many of our math programs are based on Making Math Real by David Berg, and Touch Math.
Handwriting instruction is offered following the Slingerland Multisensory Approach.
Organization, Study Skills, and Time Management strategies are incorporated as needed. Intensive, short term study skills courses for small groups are offered periodically throughout the year. Individual lessons covering this material are always available. Study Skills classes are an excellent way for students entering college to prepare for the increased independence demanded by college courses, and helps students develop the habits to plan and maximize the time spent studying outside of class.
