The key is Sensory Academics
Central to Bright Futures Learning’s unique approach is our integration of
sensory activities into our overall academic program. Because all information is
processed through the senses, the integration of sensory activities allows us to
increase the student’s general ability to absorb information. By addressing
sensory processing issues, students become better overall learners.
Reading:
Our reading program is based on phonemic awareness. Phonemic awareness is the
foundation of efficient reading skills, including comprehension. By mastering
these foundational skills, students develop the ability and confidence necessary
to be successful readers. As students progress through this program, all areas
related to reading substantially improve, including comprehension, spelling and
written expression.
Math:
Our math program is based on processing and organizational ability. Much like
our reading program, we use a multi-sensory approach to build an understanding
of foundational math principles. By teaching the process of problem solving and
organizational techniques, we help students increase their current performance
and prepare a foundation for higher order skills.
Study skills:
One of the challenges facing many of today’s students is the lack of effective
study and organizational skills. This can affect performance in all areas of
study. We teach students how to read material for content, organize their
writing, prepare for, and take, tests. By providing research-based study skills,
students gain the confidence and ability to successfully complete school
assignments and improve test scores.
