Get the educational advantage

Our Summer School offers a Reading Program for your high school student that works because your student is taught on an individual basis with an individual study and reading plan in place. Your summer school student will follow the same procedure as the other students:
 

  1. Diagnostic Testing

  2. Pyramid of Learning Program

  3. Effective and Efficient Reading Program

  4. Text Book Study Techniques Program
  
The high school students are all different ages with different weaknesses and strengths.  Some students do the Pyramid of Learning Program faster than others and therefore may go onto the Effective and Efficient Reading Program and if time permits go onto the Text Book Learning Techniques Program. Very few students can expect to go on to finish all three of the Programs in the 28 day summer school trip. But these programs naturally lead one into the other and we continue to push for your high school student to accomplish as much of each of the programs as possible. Always keeping in mind that each step must be accomplished and finished to our high standards before going on.

Diagnostic Testing
Summer School starts your student with the Reading Program by doing a complete evaluation of your high school student's strengths and weaknesses. The testing of your high school student goes all the way back to early childhood if needed, making sure that all the foundation stones are in place. We need to know exactly what pieces of your students knowledge is missing or weak to be able to customize an individual Program for your student. This test points out your student's weak points or any knowledge missed in the previous years of school.
The Diagnostic Test does not grade your student, it only tells us what your student will need to work on. Once the results of your students Diagnostic Tests are analyzed, an individual Reading Program based on our Pyramid of Learning is drawn up.

Pyramid of Learning Program
The Pyramid of Learning Program is based on a pyramid structure with grade one at the top and gradually going down to a grade twelve level.

  Gr. 1

    One missed piece multiplies

 

  Gr. 2

      As the student goes from  grade to grade, if the small
 

  Gr. 3

         pieces are not learned the problems only get
 

 Gr. 4

             worse. By the time the student
 

 Gr. 5

                 gets to grade 12 there is a
 

 Gr. 6

                     real problem.

 Gr. 7

                        

The small pieces get bigger with each passing year.
Small pieces missed at a grade one level only get larger as your student goes down the pyramid, making each level of education harder for your student to learn. Some of the problems are corrected as your student goes on to higher grades but your student will always be that little bit behind. Being behind causes the your student to lose confidence and self esteem in his/her every day life. What the pyramid shows is what things still have to be taught and learned to advance to the next level and finally up to your student's age level.

Effective and Efficient Reading Program
This is a course that is approximately 40 to 60 hours in duration and is only offered once your student has completed his/hers particular Pyramid of Learning Program. The Effective and Efficient Reading Program is a course designed to make your student learn faster and easier. This program teaches your students to read and comprehend at a higher rate than they could before starting the Program. The Effective and Efficient Reading Program is designed to push your student into stretching the strengths they have and to perform at a maximum Effective and Efficient reading rate. The your students reading exercises are designed to relate to the history, culture and literature of the area we are exploring.

Text Book Study Techniques Program
This Program teaches your student how to study a text book, find and learn what he/she needs to know from the text book and retain that information for exam times. The technique uses the skimming and scanning method of learning from the Effective and Efficient Reading Program, going on to teaching note-taking and study habits. The Text Book Study Techniques Program teaches the your high school student the easiest and fastest way to take a text book and at the end of the year write an easily studied for Exam.
