HOSTS Learning
-
HOSTS stands for Helping One Student To Succeed.
-
Since 1971, HOSTS Learning has provided a proven research-based learning system that has helped more than one million children who neede personalized instruction to improve their reading, writing, language development, and math skills.
-
Our system was designed to close the achievement gap and accelerate the learning of all students. HOSTS, along with talented and dedicated teachers, has helped struggling readers learn to read, enable students with disabilities to make gains necessary to rejoin their fellow classmates, given English language learners the helping hand they needed to develop their English language skills, and strengthened thousands of students' understanding of mathematics.
-
St. Francis Seraph School recognizes that the needs of students include academic, physical, social, emotional and behavioral factors. The school depends greatly on a volunteer base as well as the staff of principal and teachers. The HOSTS Mentoring and Intervention Program using the computer based IntelliPath program will supplement current programs being used. The one-on-one mentoring system will enable individual mentors to have social, emotional and behavioral impact on students as well as enhancing the academic experience.
-
HOSTS currently serves 18 students in grades 3 through 6.
-
Students are paired with a mentor for one-on-one instruction.
-
Students meet with their mentor 3 days a week for 45 minute sessions.
-
HOSTS was brought to SFSS through the generosity of the Thieman family in memory of Charlotte Thieman who was a long time volunteer at SFSS. Lynn Solomon is the director of HOSTS and Charlotte's daughter.
Cincinnati Lion's Club
Students are paired up with a volunteer from the Cincinnati Lion's Club. Lion's Club has been paired with the second grade class. Once every month, our volunteers come to visit, read, and just talk with our students.
