• LiteracyAccess Online - LAO

  LiteracyAccess Online is an innovative Internet-based,hands-on, interactive instructional tool designed to teach parents, teachers, volunteers, teaching assistants and others literacy skills necessary to teach children having reading difficulties in grades 4 through 8. This innovative program guides parents, teachers, volunteers and paraprofessionals through creative strategies, training and student-involved exercises necessary to reach and teach students who need and want to learn to read, but who have often experienced frustration and failure at trailing behind their peers.  Areas of literacy skills training currently include: language arts, science, social studies, math and the general curriculum, which, in reality, comprises every part of life in and out of school.  Development of Phase I and II of LAO has been accomplished through the successful partnership between PEATC and George Mason University’s Kellar Institute for Human disabilities. Graduate level students in Instructional Design, as well as, parents and teachers contributed to the design through onsite participation and online pilots.
