New Leaf Prep Academy is a school committed to the growth and development of best practices. Thorough data chats are held between studio teachers and the Curriculum Coordinator or Assistant Head of School each time testing scores are received to ensure we are properly implementing best practices based on data. We are continually evaluating reading scores and evaluating how our programming best meets the needs of each student enrolled at New Leaf Prep Academy.

Multi-Faceted Approach to Reading

New Leaf Prep Academy utilizes a multi-faceted and comprehensive approach to teaching reading through a systematic and sequential presentation of phonetic elements to reading for comprehension. Below are the most predominant components of our reading & writing curriculum. These components overlap, serving students across multiple cycle years, and are introduced and utilized based on your child’s individual needs.

 

As an incredibly diverse team at a small school, we work incredibly close to ensure we are meeting the needs of every student who enters our doors through an individualized approach based on teacher observation, parent input, and implementation of best practices. We are always here to support your child's growth and development from the administrative and classroom levels. If you have child-specific questions or would like to understand how we individualize for your child specifically, please don’t hesitate to set up a time with your child’s teacher. We would be honored to discuss the individualized approach utilized to best support your child’s specific academic and social-emotional needs, including reading targets and reading interventions. Data chats may also be set up with Mrs. Willmann to take a closer look at your child’s testing scores and other data points.
