Student Learning Engagement – Learning Differently at any Age

Gifted Engagement
​
Our gifted program is a new and challenging adventure for The Reading Group.  We are fortunate to have added to our instructor base by hiring a person who has worked with gifted students since he was in high school.  Mr. Rassi, has an undergraduate degree in engineering and is working on his master’s degree in secondary education.  His goal is to teach math and science at the middle school or high school level.
The sessions are one hour in length and can include as few as five sessions, depending on the need of the student.  Gifted individuals, while extremely talented in specific areas, may need some encouragement and support with writing, reading, social engagement, math, science or other learning challenges.  Our goal is to bridge the gap between gifted educational procedures and any learning challenges presented for the students.

Our targeted group of students is middle school through high school.  Mr. Rassi, has worked with college students and we are completely open to engaging that age group.  We have several options for students and would enjoy sharing the alternative educational procedures with you. The program cost for this service is $70 per session.

Enhanced Reading Program
​
The reading, writing, comprehension, homework helper service is an expanded homework helper program offered two years ago.  These services do not require a formal assessment process and concentrates on basic elements related to reading, writing and comprehension.  We do encourage all parents to consider a formal assessment but it is not required for these services. 

Homework Helper provides assistance in homework skills development, such as organization, focus, completion of projects/tasks, writing and other subject matter services, based on available instructors.  The age groups include students 7 to 16 years old. The program costs for this service is $35 per session.  We do not offer any discounts or scholarships for this service. 
For additional information, scheduling and costs for the sessions please refer to our website, www.reaadinggoup.org, or call 217-351-9144 or email jjones@readinggroup.org, teaton@readinggroup.org
