Barrington Elementary School supports and teaches the FUNdations reading and writing system in the first through third grades. This reading system has an embedded printed writing instruction component. The BES OT staff supports each first and second grade classroom during a weekly writing time. This allows us to assist children who require additional assistance with the writing process due to mechanical difficulties. It is also an incredible opportunity to view all first and second graders' skills and provide in-class support to children who may be having difficulty with certain letters or writing components. This is done in an effort to boost them in skill development without the need for pull-out service.
