Lions Leap (Grades 1-6)

Lions Leap (For students entering grades 1-6)

Spend your summer at Lawrence School! We're Northeast Ohio's only academic program for students with dyslexia and other learning differences.

Lawrence School’s Orton-Gillingham based instructional approach looks a lot like play. Peek into our classrooms and you’ll see students writing in shaving cream, sculpting sight words with modeling clay, bouncing balls as they skip count, and, most importantly, smiling and laughing! But don’t be fooled by all the fun—these engaging multisensory activities lead to serious gains in literacy and mathematics. This summer, we invite your child to leap ahead with Lions Leap!

• Our daily class schedule consists of 40-minute lessons in phonics, reading fluency, writing, and mathematics—with playground time in between.
• All concepts are introduced through visual, tactile, auditory, and kinesthetic activities, which are proven to help students with learning differences make connections and retain information.
• Class sizes are small; groupings of only 8-10 learners make way for plenty of individualized attention from our knowledgeable staff.
• Organization is explicitly taught and practiced, further developing the executive function skills essential for success in school and beyond.

Lions Leap is not only an intensive dose of specialized instruction—it’s a powerful experience that shows kids who learn differently they CAN succeed academically. In just four weeks, Leapers build new skills, increase self-confidence, gain motivation, make new friends, and find out how fun learning can be!
