Clayton Learning Lab

Early Literacy Group Class | Ages 4 to 6

Six Saturdays of small-group, Orton-Gillingham based instruction designed for children entering or currently in kindergarten.

This class blends phonological awareness and early decoding, the two foundational pillars of skilled reading. Children build the sound-level skills that research consistently identifies as the strongest predictors of later reading success, then apply them to letters and words through explicit, multisensory instruction.

What’s included:
• 6 Saturday sessions, 9:30 to 10:45 AM
• Small group of 4 to 5 students
• Orton-Gillingham based, structured literacy methodology
• Phonological awareness and early decoding focus
Session details:
Dates: May 9 through June 20 (no class Memorial Day weekend, May 23)
Location: Clayton Learning Lab, Hingham
Investment: $320 for the 6-week session

If your child’s binder or backpack looks like this, it is not laziness.
It is executive functioning overload.

When papers are crumpled, missing, or shoved into folders, it usually means a child is struggling with organization, planning, working memory, and follow through. Many kids know the material. They just cannot manage it.

This is especially common for bright, capable students with ADHD or learning differences. School moves fast. Systems are assumed, not taught.

That is why we created Brains & Bots: Executive Skills for the Digital Age.

In this 6 week class, students learn how to organize materials, plan assignments, manage time, and use simple tools, including AI, to stay on track and reduce overwhelm.

This class is for students who understand the content but struggle with the systems around it.

Organization is a skill. Skills can be taught.
If this picture feels familiar, your child may benefit from explicit executive functioning instruction.
