Supplementing for Success

Who is using supplements? Everyone!

Notes:

www.rainbowresource.com1 Questions: consultants@rainbowresource.com

I use them for adding more practice in a specific area, like

spelling in an ELA program, or multiplication in a

math curriculum.

I have used them to provide parallel instruction to our curriculum. They often

have streamlined examples and practice to complement your

main program in an area where kids are

struggling.

My students like to make their own supplements,

such as vocabulary note cards. They will color-code them for grammar too — red borders for nouns, green for verbs,

blue for adjectives, etc.

I use them to meet the needs of different

learning styles with games, songs, manipulatives,

or videos.

A supplement is perfect for

test prep, focusing on just those areas

that need work.

Supplements are great for hitting the

high points over the summer; whether for remediation, or to introduce new skills and get

a jump on the coming school year.

They can often be done

with little supervision.

I used them with my student who left a

traditional school at an awkward time, when it’s not

practical to purchase a year-long program.
