It has been a great week! TAKS reading and writing is over and everyone can breathe a sigh of relief! I had some other good news this week. One of the students that Creative Tutors worked with scored an 1800 on her SAT! Another student brought his scores up 250 points since the last time he took the SAT. Quality tutors working one-on-one can make a world of difference and I am so glad to see that Creative Tutors is helping young people succeed (and reach their potential).
Spring is on the way and it is time to be thinking about summer tutoring in math, reading, writing, history, science. Students need that reinforcement in the summer to help keep their skills up or to keep progressing toward specific goals. Let us know if we can help you!

Children's Literature is a great source for teaching character and values. I wanted to share a few of my favorites for children 5-8 years old. Brave Irene (Wiliam Steig), Secret of the Peaceful Warrior (Dan Millman), A Little Princess (Frances Hodgson Burnett), and Sacajewa Wilderness Guide (Kate Jassem) are great for teaching courage. If you are wanting to teach love and service to your child try the Little House on the Prairie series (Laura Ingall Wilder), Miranda's Magic Garden (Linda Atnip),and The Giving Tree. Another vital lesson that today's children need is perserverance. Freedom Train-The Story of Harriet Tubman (Dorothy Sterling) and The Little Engine that Could help children see that the human spirit can endure many things.
I will be adding character traits and books that can help teach these over the next couple of weeks so stay tuned!
