Writing before reading.... The Montessori Way
Last week, Emerson hosted a parent education night to show parents how Montessori teaches writing before reading. This event was videotaped and will be posted on the Emerson Facebook page very soon! When it is available, we will let everyone know. We talked about both Children's House and Elementary and the different supports we have brought in to support Emerson students as they learn to read.

What is Lexia
Lexia is a computer-based literacy program that is designed to meet the exact needs of each student. Each student is able to log in at school or at home using their student ID number. We encourage families to reach out to their child's teacher to learn more about how to log in. If your student is struggling in reading, Lexia is just one way we can work together to build reading skills. Check out the webpage using this link below.
