Critical reading skills in high school are more important than ever. Rigorous assignments, increased reading load across all academic subjects and preparing for college entrance exams puts more stress on a student's reading skills than ever before.
At the high school level, Sylvan designs individual programs focused on the reading skills of comprehension and word study. We will help your child to expand his vocabulary and have a better understanding of what he is reading. After all, your child is not really reading unless he understands what the author is trying to communicate.
Our Sylvan Skills Assessment® will diagnose and pinpoint your child's current abilities across those reading skills which are critical for high-schoolers:
High school-level texts serve as the foundation to the Sylvan high school reading program. Your child will learn how to be an efficient reader and gain more understanding from a text in less time - reading skills that will be invaluable as the volume of schoolwork increases throughout high school, advanced courses and ultimately, college classes.
While Sylvan's high school reading is the final stage of our reading programs, it's never too late for reading tutoring. Even high school seniors in their spring semester will benefit from Sylvan's intensive academic reading instruction — but the sooner your enroll your child, the better! Your child is guaranteed to improve his reading skills as he works to become a confident, fluent reader.
All of Sylvan's reading tutoring programs are consistent with the findings of the National Reading Panel and with published guidelines from the International Reading Association and the National Institute for Literacy.
