What SLLS Does
Empower
Students in the 4th grade and above who can't read, or struggle to read, are often embarrassed. Sometimes they may even give up on themselves. This can make teaching them to read tough. However, a safe space and a step-by-step system can help them overcome their shame, start to believe in themselves, and begin the work of becoming a better reader.
Engage
For older students struggling to read, part of the embarrassment of learning early reading skills stems from the materials used. Often, these resources are created for students in the Pre-K to 3rd grade range. Not only do older students find these items uninteresting, but often they are yet another reminder that the student has fallen behind. Using age-appropriate literacy resources to teach early reading skills removes this stigma and enhances student interest and motivation.
Elevate
At 4th grade and above, there is little to no foundational skills taught in ELA classrooms. Struggling students must strive to accomplish grade level tasks without the reading skills needed to be successful. An educational consultant can work with the teacher to overcome these challenges. As students learn and review early reading skills, their reading levels increase, allowing them greater and greater access to grade level materials.
Educate
To successfully implement the SEES Literacy Learning System, teacher support will be required. Many teachers already feel overloaded with work and have little time to learn a new program and create additional lessons for small group work with students. That's why an educational consultant will help implement the program and provide weeks of on-going support. Additionally, each lesson has a detailed, scripted lesson plan, relieving yet another burden for the teacher. As a bonus, teachers may have access to over 100 resources to supplement the ELA curriculum.
