Friendship School
School Notes Overview:
Our students are children of average-to above-average intelligence who require innovative, mult-sensory teaching methods to overcome their learning challenges. Every student at Friendship School receives daily one-to-one tutoring. In this tutoring period, each child receives instruction following an individualized treatment plan that is carefully delivered to meet the child's specific language needs. Students receive instruction in phonological awareness, decoding, fluency, vocabulary, comprehension, handwriting, and spelling. Each child also receives small group instruction in oral/pre-writing or written language each day....
