What Is Jr. Discovery?
Children need a great start in life, especially when it comes to learning!
Junior Discovery is an enrichment program that uses the SEARCH and TEACH curriculum for children from kindergarten through grade two. This program is two-fold: it helps identify potentional learning difficulties and then sets up an intervention program to address those issues. Through Junior Discovery, children gain confidence and experience learning success, opening the door to a bright future!
SEARCH is a test which helps identify possible learning difficulties and weaknesses in neuropsychological skills basic to reading and language arts programs.
TEACH is a program based on the results of the Search test. It uses instructional methods, including fifty-five task cards, to develop a child academically to succeed in reading and language arts programs. The tasks are grouped in five clusters which include: visual, visual-motor, auditory, body-image, and intermodal skills. This intervention can include groups of children or individual sessions meeting three to four times a week.
Together they are a powerful pair!
“The strength of SEARCH & TEACH is in early intervention. This twofold approach offers educators an effective tool for catching learning disorders at the beginning of a child’s academic career, before the downward spiral of failure begins. With proper and timely identification and intervention, many children can be spared the lifelong consequences of learning disorders.”
