The Learning Lab’s SMART Summer is a six-week intensive literacy program designed for smart students who are a year or more behind in reading and/or writing.

Using S.M.A.R.T. Goals and the F.I.T.T. Principle, one SMART Summer, at The Learning Lab, can change a lifetime!

The Learning Lab’s SMART Summer is helpful for students who are:

  • At risk for or diagnosed with Dyslexia
  • Diagnosed with a Specific Learning Disability (SLD) or a disability is suspected
  • Diagnosed with a Central Auditory Processing Disorder
  • (CAPD)/Auditory Processing Disorder (APD)
  • Significantly struggling with phonemic awareness, phonics and fluency
  • Significantly struggling with reading comprehension, working memory and critical thinking
  • Significantly struggling with grammar, sentence structure and essay writing

Each child’s SMART Summer protocol is designed to meet their individual learning needs. All Learning Lab programs are based on best practices and the neuroscience of successful reading acquisition. Some of the programs we use are:

  • Barton Reading and Spelling System
  • Foundation in Sounds
  • Visualizing and Verbalizing
  • Reading Assistant
  • DreamBox Math
