Sts. Peter & Paul School is fortunate to have a specialized reading intervention program that is organized and taught by Mrs. Valerie Adley.
...
Mrs. Adley engages in activities that complement what occurs in the classroom at the specific child's grade level.
She stays one week ahead of the child's class curriculum.
When these materials are then read in their class the children in her program are already familiar with the material.
...
The Great Leaps Reading Program is an additional reading program started by Mrs. Adley that relies on parent volunteers.
In this program, parents and teachers are trained to assess student performance on a daily basis.
Students are asked to perform assigned reading tasks, when a child performs the task in the given time accurately, they leap.
This is rewarding for the child in self esteem as well as coming out of the program with improved reading skills.
Mrs. Adley is sure to point out that the success of these programs depends not only on her and her vast array of specialized activities, but the work of parents and children at home.
