            Welcome to Basic Skills!

The Basic Skills Improvement (BSI) program provides supplemental instruction to
children in kindergarten through fifth grade. These students gain additional support
in the areas of Language Arts/Literacy and Math. The goal of our program is to
improve and maintain proficiency in those areas.

BSI is conducted in a small-group setting. We work collaboratively with the
classroom teacher to help ensure that specific academic goals are being set for
each student. Every student has an individual plan that provides a framework and
helps drive instruction. Pre- and post- assessments are administered before and
after instruction to check for growth of each skill set.

Group lessons, individual lessons, content-related projects and fun, educational
games contribute to the overall framework. We are very excited to start another
school year & look forward to working with our students.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.

Here’s to a great, successful year full of learning!
