Search & Teach

Search and Teach is an early intervention educational program designed to identify and support young children (typically ages 5–7) who may be at risk for learning difficulties, especially in the areas of reading and academic readiness.

Search is a short one-on-one assessment designed to identify strengths and weaknesses in foundational learning skills (e.g., visual and auditory processing, memory, directionality, motor coordination).

Teach is a set of 55 individualized, structured, multisensory teaching tasks that build a child’s pre-academic skills specific to reading and language arts. Teach organizes a program of learning according to an individual child’s search profile.

Purpose and Goals

• Early detection of learning challenges before academic failure occurs.
• Provide individualized support to strengthen weak areas.
