Through grade three, children are learning to read; from grade four on, children are reading to learn. At any time in these years, a gap in the reading foundation can make learning of any type – enrichment or remedial — difficult, if not impossible. Our goal is to make life–long learners of all children, which is why Sylvan's reading tutors offer well–balanced, research–based and personalized tutoring programs for students at all levels:
All of Sylvan's reading programs are based upon solid and scientific research, educational industry best practices and common sense. Our reading tutors use a systematic, age– and grade–appropriate approach that ultimately fosters reading independence and confidence. All of the components of Sylvan's reading program lead to the ultimate goal of getting our reading students to understand what an author has written.
Sylvan's reading tutors deliver programs consistent with the findings of the National Reading Panel, and serve as the driving force behind Sylvan's reading curriculum. These are the five tenets of Sylvan's reading instruction:
Sylvan's dedicated reading tutors are trained and certified teachers who will be delighted to help your child find, restore or strengthen her reading skills. Our diagnostic–prescriptive approach uses a series of tests called the Sylvan Skills Assessment®. The results of this unique test assure your child receives the precise instruction from our reading tutors to achieve his exact reading tutoring goals.
Sylvan teaches students of all grades, ages and abilities to find meaning in what they read and to sharpen both their verbal and listening skills. By enrolling your child to work with Sylvan reading tutors, you are helping her to become a confident, enthusiastic reader for life.
