The Martha’s Vineyard Language & Literacy Project is an independent diagnostic and intervention resource program for island residents seeking additional insight and treatment for language learning disabilities that affect social and academic achievement. An express purpose is to provide local expertise so that parents and their children, whether young or adolescent or dual language learners, can access additional services that address their concerns and deficits whether one-to-one or in specific small group (maximum 3 children) that targets skills that all participants need to have addressed in a supportive, dynamic environment to insure each individual’s success.

Skills development includes foundational skills — clear speech, reading, vocabulary, spelling and handwriting — through development of expository and narrative writing, and reading for multiple purposes. For older students, articles, novels and films are used to promote competence in critical thinking and in continuing the development of higher-order vocabulary skills and conversation that results in active learning strategies for lifelong learning.

The Lecture Series will introduce topics related to language learning and academic success that is opened to the public for educational access to promote a more informed approach to the multiple issues affecting educational and positive social outcomes. We invite your support!
