NEW SCHOOL YEAR!

"Mom called - Cheryl - to tell us that her boys - Louis and Dominick - are close to hitting Honor Roll.
The boys came to Sylvan to boost up their reading skills to prepare for grade 7. At the end of last school year - they had ALL F's. So we tested them and set up a plan to work all summer in reading - it worked.
Mom could not believe how great it felt going to school and not preparing for the worst."

Sylvan Works!

"Jan Olbrich came into the center in July to let us know that she was so thrilled with her granddaughter's progress and growth. Jan found her granddaughter, Morgan, reading a chapter book one day. Morgan insisted that she read JUST a few more pages, PLEASE!"

Jacob Reid

"Dear Wanda,
I just wanted to keep you updated on Jacob's progress. I am happy to say that his last report card received at the beginning of this month was excelllent. He received 4 A's and 5 B's. He miraculously got an A+ in spelling which is still a major struggle for him.

The 3rd quarter is starting out a little tougher but we are working hard to keep him on track. I will keep you posted on his 3rd quarter results and let you know what our intentions are for retuirning. I am still interested in taking the study skills course over the summer before he starts 6th grade for sure.

Thanks for everything.

Jennifer Reid"
