Since 1995, Learning Together

students in elementary through high school. We currently serve more

County, Nevada; Cherry Creek, Colorado; and Irving ISD, Texas.
Our
original program, Reading Together Grade Two, is a one-on-one peer teaching intervention that helps second-grade students
improve fluency and comprehension. It was developed by The
University of North Carolina at Greensboro; Guilford County Schools,
NC; Hebrew University; and the National Council of Jewish Women
Research Institute for Innovation in Education. It was based on Yachad ("Together"), successfully used in Israeli schools for nearly 30 years. |
Reading Together Grade Two™ focuses on fluency and comprehension for beginning readers. The same proven peer teaching methodology has been used to develop a
continuum of interventions.
Reading Together Grade Three™ adds strong critical thinking and writing
components; it also builds the skills students need for
mandated end-of-grade tests.
Reading Together Intermediate™ offers advanced
comprehension strategies for informational and procedural text for
fourth, fifth and sixth graders.
Reading Together Secondary™ uses high-interest literature, career pathways and 21st Century skills to engage and challenge middle- and high-school students at risk of dropping out.
Writing Together™ extends Reading Together lessons to help students make connections, respond to text and practice creative and expository writing.
Math Together™ is
an interdisciplinary program that teaches critical thinking and problem
solving based on passages about U.S. history. Targets third, fourth and fifth graders.
Get Ready 4 Algebra™ fills knowledge gaps for middle and high school students to prepare for pre-algebra and Algebra I courses. Emphasis is on commonly identified areas of weakness: fractions, rational numbers and study skills.
