Reading and Essay Program - Offered for all levels
- At C.C.B. writing is taken seriously. Wrriting is an important part of school, increasingly an important part of standardized test-taking and eventually and important part of life. Instruction in written expression begins in the early grades at C.C.B., moving from vocabulary development to sentence structure, on to paragraph formation and eventually to essay writing. In a structured, nurturing environment, your child is encouraged to explore his potential in the area of written expression. In order for skills to progress, a student must write frequently and a teacher must read and evaluate all writing. Student-teacher interaction is an important part of our writing program. A certified experienced teacher reviews all writing and individual comments are made on each assignment as to how the student can improve. Students also have the benefit of writing conferences, either in small groups or individually, with their teacher as a means of teacher feedback. The goal of our program is to move students toward becoming self-sufficient writers who are able to eventually independently self-evaluate and revise their own work. C.C.B.'s systematic instruction emphasizes additional information not taught in the public schools, clarification and restatement of the basics, as well as enrichment lessons as determined by your child's individual need.
