"My son feels that he has learned more than ever before!"  ~Laura, Marburn Summer Program Parent

 

Math Skills

Learning should be fun, but students with math difficulties don't see it that way. Featuring the Visual Mathematics approach, our Math Program makes math learning active and enjoyable, and students discover that they are capable math learners. Students benefit from the Visual Math philosophy which holds that "math learning is a social activity."

 

Students:

• use manipulatives to create models of math concepts
• work cooperatively to create and solve problems
• enjoy high-interest activities especially chosen to appeal to this age group
• learn math tricks and shortcuts that make problem-solving manageable

Written Expression

Using Marburn Academy's "Writing Small" approach, this program uses short, engaging assignments to improve writing fluency, and focuses on building the fundamental writing skills of creative word choice and passage unity. As students experience success using writing as a tool to communicate their thoughts, their enthusiasm for the process grows and they come to view themselves as writers.

 

Phonemic Awareness

Phonemic Awareness is now universally recognized as the single most important precursor skill for reading success. This highly enjoyable, activity-based class is designed to improve Phonemic Awareness in young children who have deficits in this area.
