Students at the Center for Literacy Enrichment are evaluated, and programs are designed to meet their individual needs. Instruction to improve reading and writing skills, and now math skills, is provided in small groups or in private sessions. Tutors are available for students from elementary to middle school – both U.S. and foreign-born. The program emphasizes a skills- based approach with an emphasis on literature and math. The Center aligns all instruction with the Common Core Curriculum and the New York State Standards. Parents will be delighted with the achievement of their sons and daughters in reading, writing and mathematical skills and improving their comprehension. We take a practical approach to literacy and math education, as students become familiar with every day general expressions as well as the specific kinds of communication needed to carry out their day-to-day living and work.
This program is offered to students ages 4 and 5, and is dedicated to
preparing your child to enter into Kindergarten. We believe that literacy is the foundation a child needs in
order to be successful in all aspects of school. A balance between play, music,
and academics, the program offers a curriculum that both challenges and excites
students.
Every
July, the Center for Literacy Enrichment hosts a summer literacy camp. The
program is four days per week, Monday through Thursday. Parents have the option
of a half day or a full day. Students are divided into small groups based upon
