Emily's Success Story!
"When Emily "passed" grade 1 she was not at a grade 1 reading level. She was more in the range of kindergarten. We thought continuing her reading through the summer would help her but it unfortunately didn't.
The end of August 2007 we decided to place her with Sylvan Learning. After a testing session with the staff at Sylvan it was proven that Emily was indeed far behind. She began 2 classes a week for 2 hours each. We were concerned about her not wanting to go to Sylvan after a full day at school, however that was and is never a problem!
They have a token system to encourage the children which made Emily very excited to learn. Eight months later she is still excited! It has also helped that Emily has a wonderful teacher at Sylvan who she is very fond of. Donna is very supportive, encouraging and positive with Emily as well as with us.
Emily completed the beginning reading program in April. There is a huge difference in her abilities, confidence, reading, writing and comprehension. Not only are we very proud of her but she is as well.
My husband and I are always well informed on Emily's progress through award certificates, conferences and verbal converstaions with Sylvan staff.
Since we have had such great progress with Emily at Sylvan we intend on keeping her enrolled. That way she's ahead of the game for grade 3!"
