School District Advanced Learning Information
Linguistic Remedies
Our teachers use the Linguistic Remedies Program to strengthen students’ reading skills and
identify reading difficulties early. This method helps children understand
reading and writing by teaching the sounds of letters, letter combinations and
words through hearing, seeing and speaking.
All-School Math
Block
Students in first through fifth grades are taught math based on their ability,
not their grade level. In addition to our classroom teachers, we have
three other teachers that take groups for math instruction.
North Beach
