Strategic Reading That Works!

 

Strategic Reading That Works

Lafayette Academy’s Strategic Reading program teaches students how to read “actively and consciously,” two pillars of reading comprehension. Our meticulously tailored program amalgamates practical evaluations with appropriate pedagogy to guarantee sustained advancement in students’ reading comprehension. By integrating cutting-edge technology with exceptional, caring educators, we help students elevate their foundational knowledge and grasp current concepts. We regularly assess our students to ensure their advancement.

We are not an “over-the-top” learning center with an “Ivy League or bust” mentality. Our Middle School Tutoring programs help each student reach his or her academic potential.  We nurture our students to help them reach their highest levels, but we don’t pressure every student to become the next Bill Gates! Still, our students will enter high school on a faster track, including many AP students!

Strategic Reading

“Strategic Reading” Comprehension for Elementary & Middle School Students

  • Strategic Reading is driven by IXL, an innovative, adaptive assessment-based program that meets students at their reading levels, and moves them up!
  • Lafayette Academy’s goal is to help your child become a “strategic reader,” who comprehends and retains increasingly difficult texts.
  • Our friendly, attentive tutors help your children along their  reading comprehension paths, resulting in verifiable improvements and more academic confidence and self-esteem.

Writing for Elementary & Middle School Students (“Intentional  Writing”)

  • Intentional Writing utilizes the adaptive technology of iStation to help young students develop their writing and grammar skills.
  • Lafayette Academy’s goal is to nurture your children into becoming “intentional writers” so they can express themselves in a clear and concise manner. We accomplish this by identifying and closing foundational writing gaps that prevent children from finding their writing voice and style.
  • Our students develop a well-rounded appreciation for the power of the pen and more confidence.
  • Our attentive tutors are trained to help your child improve his or her writing style, grammar skills, and vocabulary.
