• The Slingerland® class takes place in a classroom-based setting, led by teachers trained in multi-sensory structured literacy. The expectation is that students participating in the program can manage their personal classroom behavior. HRS reserves the right to excuse a student from the program if the student is unable to meet behavioral expectations. We are not able to offer one-on-one support accommodations. 
• Please consider if summer travel plans will prevent the registered student from fully participating.  
• School bus service is not available during the summer academy program. 

• Students possessing average to superior intelligence, but are not achieving in language skills such as reading, spelling, penmanship, oral and/or written expression
• Students with language-based learning differences
• Students who have a pattern of language difficulties in their family
• Students showing weakness in the auditory and/or visual modalities, which interfere with understanding and using language
• Students with kinesthetic motor modality weakness that interferes with recall of the sequence of movement involved in spoken language or in letter formation for penmanship
• Students who are able to manage behaviorally and socially in a classroom setting

Our program is designed to support students in reading and writing within a classroom-based model. We do not have the resources or specifically tailored program to support students who require 1:1 support, have difficulty managing within a classroom setting of students, or who would otherwise be impacted in their ability to exhibit appropriate behaviors in a structured situation.
