Search & Teach is an
early-intervention program for young children ages 5-7 years
designed to identify learning difficulties and to prevent
learning failure and its emotional consequences. Some children
have perceptual weaknesses in visual and / or auditory
processing, or have difficulty with gross and / or fine motor
activities. These problems can cause the child to experience
delays in learning to read. Such early difficulties can lead to
loss of self esteem, which causes the child to lose interest in
school. Search & Teach offers identification of and then direct stimulation of deficit areas early in a child's school career so that he or she can be on the road to becoming an independent and successful learner. Search is a 20-30 minute screening test designed to identify students who may have difficulty acquiring the basic skills necessary for reading. The children find the activities of the test to be fun. Teach is the instructional plan personally designed for each child to help strengthen any weak areas that have been identified. One of our Special Needs Staff will meet with your child for 30 minutes for one on one instruction on specified days within the limitations of our staffing and the kindergarten and first grade schedule. The Special Needs Department provides the SEARCH screening for all Kindergarten and newly enrolled First grade students at the beginning of the school year. This is NOT an IQ test or academic achievement test. It is a perceptual screening tool to help us to see how well your child will be able to take in the information presented in the classroom and process it for the task of READING. It will be a one on one assessment with a member of the Special Needs Staff and will take approximately 30 minutes. A written report will be sent home to you. If your child is found to have a potential vulnerability and qualifies for the Teach program, then a conference will be set up to explain in greater detail what has been identified and what can be implemented to assist them to be a successful learner.
