Lower and Middle School
INFORMATION SESSIONS

At Jemicy, we teach students the way they learn best. We know that one size does NOT fit all. That’s why we utilize a variety of research-based programs, personalized for each learner. Our multisensory approach is transformative across all subject areas, but let’s begin with a discussion of the essentials; reading and writing.

Jemicy’s explicit and systemic instruction will be demonstrated for parents and educators who want to better understand our approach to teaching students to write, beginning with spelling, vocabulary development, and grammar. Internationally recognized expert, Director of Outreach Megan McGowan, will break down the complex process of writing and explain how we teach the progression from sentence-level writing to paragraphs and essays using our own copyrighted program, Paragraphology. The result is a confident writer who possesses a unique style and voice.
