The mission of the Chelsea School Literacy Program is accomplished through our four principles: Profile, Plan, Program, and Performance.  Each student’s profile is reviewed and a specific plan for that student’s literacy development is made.  Students are placed into one level of our three-tiered reading tutorial program.  The three tiers focus on varying aspects of decoding, encoding, reading fluency, and reading comprehension, and are highlighted further below.  All teaching is research-based and guided by best practice.  Performance is continuously monitored and assessed in order to guide continued instruction. 

In addition to remediation, student access to assistive technology is a key element in the Chelsea School program model, particularly as it applies to students accessing age-appropriate reading material across all content areas.  Students use Kurzweil 3000, WordQ/SpeakQ, Inspiration, and Soliloquy Reading Assistant as ways to accommodate their disabilities and help their learning.
