“Strategic Reading” (“SR”) is a powerful, personalized program that will markedly improve your child’s reading comprehension ability and writing skills THIS SUMMER!
- SR begins with McGraw Hill’s highly regarded “Acuity” assessment, and a learning styles assessment. These tools help us identify your child’s specific skill gaps AND the best way to teach your child so he or she can catch up to (or get ahead of) his or her peers in school.
- After the assessment, we meet with you to discuss the results and compare them to your child’s report card. If we think your child needs extra help, we will recommend a game plan at this meeting.
- Our lesson plans focus on your child’s skill gaps, the exact same skills that are measured in school and on STAR tests. We’re also cognizant of your child’s learning style to ensure that we employ the most effective teaching techniques for YOUR child.
- Using Acuity, we continually assess your child to ensure that he or she is making steady progress.
- SR integrates local textbooks and literature so we can teach your child how to apply SR strategies to his or her schoolwork. We don’t expect our students to figure this out on their own.
- SR also includes writing so your child will learn how to apply his or her comprehension and critical thinking skills to writing assignments.
- SR “graduates” finish homework more quickly, experience less academic stress, earn higher grades, and increase their academic self-esteem.
Some Particulars
- SR is offered in small groups or 1-on-1 (your choice).
- You do NOT need to sign a contract or pay a large upfront fee; however, your child does need to come 2 or more times per week to achieve meaningful results.
- SR is $39/hour for small groups and $54/hour for 1-on-1 tutoring
- All students begin with a comprehensive assessment; we give students a mini-assessment after 12 sessions and a major assessment (+ parent conference) after 24 sessions
