Unlock the Power of the Science of Reading
News
It has been exciting to see the EEGs get up and running in the I.G.N.I.T.E. Center Lab as part of AIM's Predicting Literacy Outcomes in Schools research with Haskins Laboratories. Our Upper School Student Research Fellows recently helped Haskins faculty run experiments with AIM 5th grade research participants.
This week, Suruchi Keenheel, Director of Instructional Coaching and Training at the AIM Institute for Learning & Research, delivered hundreds of books collected by AIM Academy to students at Cornerstone Christian Academy in southwest Philadelphia.
Cornerstone Christian is one of AIM’s new education partners with ten K-5th grade teachers at the school working with AIM Institute to learn about and implement literacy instruction using AIM’s Integrated Literacy Model.
As the Philadelphia area’s only reading research organization connected to a school for children with learning differences, we wanted to confirm what we’ve always believed: AIM Academy students were improving their reading through our Integrated Literacy Model of instruction. After close analysis, we were thrilled to know that the majority of our students are exceeding national fluency norms for average rate of improvement. Not just compared to their peers with learning differences, because there are no national fluency norms for children who learn differently, but for ALL children.
