Description:
This is a small group session that focuses on reading concepts for students in fourth grade. This session is led by a highly qualified teacher that interacts with the students online. Our small groups for fourth grade are typically around 5 students. Once registered, we use a parent survey to answer questions about their child and their learning needs as well as how they learn best. This allows us to group students in a course appropriately. Sessions are once a week and meet for 60 minutes.
These sessions are personalized for your child’s learning. The are specially designed to be purposeful and focused instruction that allows your child the ability to interact and learn directly with a live teacher, but without sitting for hours at a time on the computer. Each instructor tailors and provides students with structured work off-screen which allows them to develop their independence apply their knowledge in meaningful way. This goal is to promote positive and continuous learning outcomes that build confidence and success for each child.
If they ever have a question, we offer active support from a certified teacher for students enrolled in this course 5 days a week during 9am-7pm EST .
