Summer Tutoring Keeps Your Child Ahead of the Game

Think about youth sports teams. Do they practice in the summer? Of course, they do. Sometimes those summer practices can make the difference between hitting a home run and almost making one.  Making that 3 pointer or having the ball graze the rim. Why should academics be any different? Summer tutoring is a one size fits all model because it benefits all students no matter what level they are. If your child is doing great in school, summer tutoring will just sharpen their skills and even give them a leg up when school resumes. Honor classes may even be the pay off.  Did your child meet his academic goals by the end of the school year after struggling for most of the year? If so, congratulations! Summer tutoring will ensure they do not fall back and maintain the progress they have achieved. Why let that hard work all go down the drain? The summer may seem to fly by but in the reading world two months is more than enough time to either digress or excel.  The first time I signed my daughter up for summer tutoring she was appalled to say the least. She was 10 and had no intention of investing any energy towards anything remotely related to school. She stuck it out for 6 weeks with an awesome tutor. By the time she entered 5th grade, her confidence was through the roof. She even asked me the next summer if we were doing tutoring again. I was amazed and, instantly, realized summer tutoring is a game changer.

By Why My Child Can't Spell?? March 22, 2023
Spelling and Reading go hand in hand, but it can be frustrating when you have a child that can read but has trouble spelling? I can assure you that you are not alone. But how does that happen? There are several reasons for this, but I will only focus on one for now. Spelling is actually an auditory exercise that uses the skill of being able to isolate sounds and accuratley identify the letter that makes it. There may not even seem like a process to those of us who can spell, but that is because it is automatic. We are at the stage where where we have mastered identifying sounds in a word at a rapid pace. For children who struggle in this area, they may have issues isolating sounds in words. Being able to isolate sounds mean you have the ability to break apart a word orally. Phonics devoted to this particular skill can definitely help a child grow in this area. Take a tour of the rest of my site and see how you can receive a free assessment to find out why your child is not growing in this area.
