Results

Providing PRIME TIME to your district can assist your students in achieving reading outcomes. PRIME TIME programs are rooted in the humanities. Our methodology promotes practical strategies for Socratic dialogue and open-ended group discussion of ideas. Our training programs teach educators to support students’ interest in reading, communication skills, text comprehension, and critical thinking abilities. The programs provide access to quality, grade level-appropriate literature. Storytelling and discussions encourage civil discourse, tolerance, and collective learning. As a result, participation in PRIME TIME supports families in exploring self-directed, self-motivated learning toward strengthened literacy skills.
