Mind Power Enrichment and Experiential Learning (MEEL) Program is designed to provide a strong foundation in grammar, vocabulary, and reading skills. From reading comprehension to fundamentals, our enrichment classes will make learning engaging and effective and instill the love of learning to provide a strong academic foundation for the future. MEEL English program provide great opportunities for students to hone both their written and verbal language skills. MEEL children master concepts that put them ahead of their peers. Your child will work at his or her own pace and master each new concept before moving on. The MEEL English curriculum is aligned with the State Standards, covering all major areas: Composition, Grammar, Phonics, Reading, Spelling, Writing, Essay, Sentence Structure and more.
Some of the topics covered at the different grade levels are: Syllables, Punctuation, Nouns, Vowels, Verbs, Adjectives, Adverbs, Capitalization, Tenses (Past Tense, Present Tense, Verb Tense, Simple Present Tense etc), Synonyms, Antonyms, Spellings, Use of Commas to Separate Coordinate Adjective, Meaning of Words through Sentence Context, Use of Correlative Conjunctions (Either/Or, Neither/Nor), Be Able to Read and Comprehend Grade Appropriate Texts, Possessive, Subject, Object, Reflexive and Intensive Pronouns, Colons and Semicolons, Meaning of a Word Using Knowledge of Commonly Used Prefixes & Suffixes, Dangling and Misplaced Modifiers, Denotation & Connotation, Comparing and Contrasting Informational Texts, Rhyming, Parts of Speech, Listening Skills etc.
Yes. If you’re concerned your child is falling behind in English, MEEL will help your child build a solid grasp of writing and reading, expand their vocabulary and grow more confident and motivated while mastering each concept and lesson.
MEEL will challenge and help your child advance and succeed. English is, almost certainly, the most important subject and many of our students are studying above grade level and these advanced students are introduced to new concepts earlier than at school and can experience the advantage of learning new material ahead of their peers. MEEL doesn't limit a child’s advancement and thus a sixth grader developing ability to read and digest complex texts quickly is not uncommon. As a student grow older, the ability to write and communicate becomes increasingly important and thus it is not uncommon for a middle school student developing an ability to submit essays, provide written responses to texts, and to express thoughts clearly and concisely.
Education is typically seen as a mechanism to reach to the end goal, i.e. crafting a career & getting a job. This is more so due to lack of a holistic learning curriculum which focuses on development through understanding and practice rather than rote-learning. This is the gap that MEEL tries to fill-in by enhancing English learning by improving your child's grammar, vocabulary, reading and writing skills etc.
