AERO SCHOOL-BASED TUTORING

DAN L DUNCAN READING INITIATIVE

During the school year, AERO provides intervention to students who are at-risk for or who are experiencing reading difficulties, as well as enrichment programs for students with grade level academic skills. We currently serve children in grades PreK-8th in English. All programs are evidence-based and have been identified as effective approaches to reading  instruction. Based on assessment results and needs, an individualized instructional plan is implemented.

For over a decade, AERO has been helping students reach their academic potential. Our research-validated programs help build the skills necessary for academic success. Our lessons are designed specifically for each child based on norm-referenced and program-based assessments.
