As children begin middle school & junior high, they are introduced to more difficult books in every subject. Whether it's a novel in English class or a science textbook, students must be prepared to work with these new texts.
Sylvan's middle school & junior high reading tutoring program provides intensive academic instruction that helps your child improve:
Our trained and certified reading tutors begin by addressing your goals as a parent and assessing your child's specific needs. Once we understand where your child's skill gaps lie, we create a customized reading tutoring program that strengthens his defined areas of weakness, from vocabulary to reading comprehension.
The middle school & junior high reading tutoring program focuses on skills specifically addressed in grades six through eight. During this time, your child starts to address elements in his reading such as the tone and mood of a text. Sylvan focuses on these strategic thinking skills using books frequently read in the middle school & junior high classroom.
And most importantly, Sylvan's reading tutoring ensures your middle school & junior high student can comprehend what he reads and learn new information and ideas from a variety of reading materials: popular fiction, study texts and reference books like dictionaries and encyclopedias.
Whether it's to catch up with the class or get ahead of it, you will have the assurance Sylvan's reading tutoring program is making your child an adept reader and applying new skills to learn and analyze reading materials.
All of Sylvan's reading tutoring programs are consistent with the findings of the National Reading Panel and with published guidelines from the International Reading Association and the National Institute for Literacy.
