What are Rx Services?

Rx for Math, Reading and Writing are available for students in K to 5 who would benefit from early intervention or whose basic skills are below expected standards.

These services are available for groups or individuals.

Rx 4 Math will build and strengthen:

·       number sense

·       math fluency

·       math vocabulary

·       problem solving strategies

 Students will be challenged to apply their growing understanding of number sense to problem solving activities.  Students’ foundational math concepts will be strengthened while their thinking and problem solving skills will be challenged, all within an atmosphere where math anxiety is reduced and thinking is maximized.

Rx for Reading is designed to provide reading intervention in a group or individual setting for students in grades K-5.

It takes the five essential components of reading – phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary and reading comprehension into a language brain that is comprehensive, constructive, and creative.  A program is designed to effectively and efficiently develop decoding and encoding skills as well as comprehension.

Rx for Writing builds and strengthens writing skills with an emphasis on the writing process. Language and thinking skills are developed and supported in each interactive session in which we cover research-based writing content. Students are challenged within a mediated learning environment where Socratic questioning, and the strengthening of cognitive functions will be central to the methods used.
