The Einstein School - Gainesville, FL

We work with students in grades two through eight who are struggling in reading, writing, speech and/or language. Students come to Einstein in order to improve in these skills and hopefully rejoin the regular public school setting once they have reached grade level achievements. Because of limited space, we accept students each summer through a lottery of students with a completed application and whose testing with our school psychologist indicates a primary disability in reading.

Using the Lindamood Phoneme Sequencing Program (LiPS™), we teach our students how sounds feel and look as we form them with our mouths. This allows students who struggle with auditory discrimination to build their phonological awareness and phonics skills, so they can increase their reading level and spelling accuracy. We reinforce these skills in our double reading classes, as well as at other opportunities throughout the day. By using hands-on activities whenever possible and providing small group instruction (1:3-1:7) in LiPS™, reading, language arts, and math, we give students opportunities to succeed in their areas of strength, as well as remediate their weaknesses.

Our school staff is a family of caring professionals who work as a team to help all our children read and increase their language skills to meet their unique potential, while building the academic skills they need for success in school and in life. Our teachers, therapists, paraprofessionals, and administrators derive great joy from joining our students in a learning adventure as we celebrate our successes and work together to overcome our areas of difficulty.

If Einstein sounds like a place your child would want to learn and grow, please contact us at (352)335-4321 to request an application or discuss any questions you may have.
