FAQ

StepUp to Learn is a movement-based curriculum for pre-k through second grade students. StepUp is based on research on learning readiness and is designed to help students develop fluency in essential reading, math, and handwriting skills. The StepUp exercises students learn combine rhythmic movement patterns with basic reading, writing, and math skills in order to automate those skills. Once these basic skills are automated, the brain can devote more executive control on higher levels of learning like reading comprehension.

StepUp helps students in pre-kindergarten through second grade build skills that are foundational to academic performance in reading, writing, and math. Each program level is tailored to the skills most essential for that grade level. In general, students will practice rhythmic movement, visual processing, and auditory processing skills as they perform the StepUp exercises.

We also offer more specialized programs:

Our Quick Check Math program enables rapid practice of basic math concepts and helps children evaluate and measure their own progress.

Our Listen, Talk and Write program develops letter formation, which is foundational for reading and writing skills.

Children work through the program at a pace based on the recommendations of the Certified NeuroNet Provider, so some exercises may require extra practice. The shortest amount of time each program could take would be 8 months. This would mean regular use for five days per week without any need to repeat parts of the program.
