Essential Learning Systems (ELS)
ELS is a program that uses computer technology to help students develop the skills that are necessary for learning. A multi-sensory, interactive system rewards the student with positive feedback that has been studied and shown to promote learning. ELS is also a therapeutic program much like physical therapy for the brain. These exercises have been developed to strengthen the weak processing areas of the brain. The main objective of ELS is to help students become independent learners. Although ELS targets reading and reading comprehension, it addresses many other facets of learning. Some areas of improvement that ELS may help are organizational skills, ordering of thoughts, sequencing, focusing, staying on task, verbalizing, handwriting, short-term memory, long-term memory, and the building of self-confidence. ELS is not a program that labels students as “different”; it is not just for our lowest functioning students; it is not limited to students with learning disabilities. Many ELS students are extremely bright with high I.Q.s and good grades. There is an additional charge for the ELS program. Both kindergarten and elementary students may enroll.
