I've Never Seen Him So Enthused About Reading

Now is the time to start planning toward the coming school year and helping your child succeed.

If you have a child who has struggled this past year, did not do well on the EOGs, has a diagnosed learning disability, is gifted & talented or a child that needs a little help to excel, start looking now for a tutor.  Children do best with one-on-one learning, in an environment where they are most comfortable and with a tutor who can teach to the child's learning style.  As you investigate tutoring companies, be sure to ask about any contracts.  You should be able to leave a tutoring situation if necessary without severe financial penalties.

"Steve, when you left Tuesday and I asked John how he thought your session went, he declared it was “AWESOME!!”  I think you really made a connection there.  Then I asked John to do something for me, and he said, “Just a minute, mom, I have to do something first.”  He rushed to his room and came back out with the book he’s planning to read with you.  I’ve never seen him enthused about reading before – he’s always treated it as a chore. I’m looking forward to seeing John progress under your tutelage!"
