Information about Slingerland Summer School:

The Slingerland Approach teaches patterns for the automatic association of the auditory, visual, and kinesthetic learning modalities. Multi-sensory language teaching requires direct instruction of all concepts with continuous student-teacher interaction.

In the summer class, information is presented so that all learning pathways (visual, auditory, kinesthetic-tactile) are used simultaneously in order to enhance memory and learning.

 

Every year Prentice offers a Slingerland Summer School, which focuses on the Slingerland Approach to Language Arts with instruction in reading, handwriting, spelling, and oral and written language.

In order to acquire skills that allow children who struggle in reading to achieve at their level of intellectual potential, they must be presented with highly structured and explicit instruction in phonics and the application of rules when writing, following the normal development of language.

BHUYA YOGA SUMMER PROGRAM at PRENTICE SCHOOL

Our summer program is a wonderful compliment with the Prentice Multisensory Language Development Summer School Program. The sessions focus on using yoga postures, breath, sound and reflection to foster and maximize opportunities for kids to strengthen their bodies and minds which in turn supports their growth. We will be working on incorporating practices that will focus on balance and asymmetrical postures to support their educational and athletic endeavors. In addition, we will be putting into practice relaxation techniques to reduce tension, stress and fatigue. As a language arts component we will be keeping a yoga journal to learn a better understanding of the yoga postures and their names. The theme this session will be “generosity and gratitude”.
