Upcoming Offerings for 2009-2010 School Year

Tuesday, February 2, 2010 - 1:00 p.m. - 2:30 p.m. (snow date: February 10, 2010) Kindergarten Readiness Workshop - Identifying the at-risk learner during the pre-school years. This is a free workshop for preschool directors and educators. Click here to register or receive more information.

Children at-risk for having a learning difference benefit from early identification and early intervention. This workshop will:

• examine the issue of identifying children who are at-risk for learning differences
• provide teachers with information to help them inform families why or how their child is at-risk and how parents can help

Valley Forge Educational Services' Child Development Consultant, Nancy Allard, MA, OTR/L, and Crossroads' Speech & Language Therapist, Christine Barraza, MS CCC-SLP, will show you how to look for "red flags" in multiple areas of development and make appropriate recommendations for intervention.

In the event of inclement weather, please listen to KYW Radio for our school number: 836.

Fridays, November 20, 2009 and January 22, 2010 from 8:45 am. until 2 pm
Free Young Reader Readiness Screenings
As a service to the community, young reader screenings for children 5 -7 years of age, will be conducted by Eileen Delaney, Reading Coordinator, at The Crossroads School. Research supports that at an early age children can be reliably screened for the skills that must be present before reading can successfully develop. The 30 minute screenings will consist of an assessment of the language skills necessary for beginning reading. A parental feedback session will follow each session. Evaluations will take place at The Crossroads School. Call Gloria Strock at 610-296-6765 or gstrock@thecrossroadssschool to schedule an appointment.
