T.A.G. the Science of Reading
ScholarSkills offers professional development that shows educators how to use multisensory learning to get students excited about the science of reading through effective, active engagement. T.A.G. can be implemented in Phys Ed classes. We offer PD for P.E. instructors.
The Academic Gym (T.A.G.) K-5
The Academic Gym is a vital component of our multisensory training in the science of reading. TAG is visual, interactive, tactile, active learning, and can be incorporated in the phonological, morphological, and syntactical aspects of the science of reading. T.A.G. makes learning a treat by getting kids to think on their feet.
We combine phonics, fitness, and fun to accelerate early reading skills.
