What kind of specialized instruction is offered at The Craig Lower School?
Orton-Gillingham instruction is offered both within the classroom and on a one-to-one or small group basis to address decoding, reading comprehension, and fluency issues. Organizational and note taking strategies are taught based on the well-known Landmark notebook system. A comprehensive social skills and character development program is followed at all grade levels and is based on the precept that a good sense of self is essential for good performance. The entire school operates as a departmentalized system with students moving together within a designated group to different subject area classrooms. This system enables our teachers to concentrate on their specialized areas of teaching.
