The Yellin Center Newsletter - Spring 2011

Yellin Center Newsletter Image
In this edition of our newsletter, learn about preparing your eighth-grader for high school, ways you can help your child establish good reading habits in elementary school, and how the growing field of Mind, Brain, and Education is helping to shape our work here at The Yellin Center.

What’s New At The Yellin Center

We are now The Yellin Center for Mind, Brain, and Education. We’ve changed our name to better reflect the scope of our work across disciplines. 


Our individualized learning assessments now also include full psycho-educational testing, and diagnoses when needed, to provide the information schools and testing organizations often seek.

We've added more support services, and increased our outreach to educators and parents, because we know that for students to truly thrive, even the best assessment must be part of an ongoing plan.

So why all the changes? Because we aspire to provide the very best evaluation and support services for students who are struggling in school. After all, as the education landscape evolves, it only makes sense that the tools we use to negotiate it evolve as well.

From all of us at The Yellin Center, we wish you and your family a terrific summer.

This will present a challenge even for students who had several teachers in middle school; high school will generally have more teachers and less coordination between classes. While teachers in ninth grade will spend a lot of time helping new high schoolers adjust, students can give themselves an advantage by being ready for what is coming.

Good Reading Habits Begin in Elementary School

Picture
Children in grades three and four are at a significant juncture for reading development. Until this age, most kids’ reading is centered on skills-building – it is often said that they are “learning to read,” as opposed to “reading to learn." Many children first begin reading chapter books in grades three and four, and, perhaps unsurprisingly, this is often the age at which parents begin to become more concerned about reading problems.

Mind, Brain, and Education is the field that seeks to promote collaboration between researchers, clinical practitioners, and educators to develop, evaluate and apply best practices in learning.
