Fluid Flexible Skill Grouping

At Pikes Peak Prep we always begin instruction where students are. If a child is behind where they should be, we work with them in a group for that specific skill. Once that skill is mastered they move on to the next skill. These groups are fluid. Students move in and out of various groups based on their needs. An example may be a third grade girl who is strong in reading, but struggles with math. For reading, she may be in a skill group working on a 6th grade skill. However, in math she may temporarily be in a fluid skill group working on a second grade skill. Once, she masters this skill, she immediately transitions into the next level group.
