Tutoring
Tutoring is by invitation and most teachers tutor either Monday or Tuesday morning, 7:30 a.m. - 8:00 a.m., or Monday and Tuesday afternoon, 3:30 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. However, teachers may add different times at their discretion. If you have questions about tutoring and your child, please contact your child's teacher.
Balanced literacy
Sewell Elementary is implementing a balanced literacy program. Balanced literacy strikes a balance between whole language and phonics. The ultimate goal of a balanced literacy program is to guide students toward proficient and lifelong reading. The five components of a balanced literacy program are the read aloud, guided reading, shared reading, independent reading and word study.
