The basis for all of Sylvan's writing tutoring programs is “authenticity” – the learning and practice of writing skills in real–life settings and activities that mimic daily experiences. Practicing vocabulary by using new words in a letter to a friend is more effective than memorizing dictionary definitions.
Sylvan's writing tutoring programs are designed for students in fourth grade through high school and are grouped in the following levels:
Writing is made up of a number of smaller tasks, each necessary for successful and effective communication. A Sylvan writing tutor will ensure your child possesses solid, grade–appropriate foundations in the following:
With their Sylvan writing tutor, students at every level learn to express thoughts clearly and effectively and to develop skills in sentence structuring, paragraph development and the grammar and mechanics of writing.
Each Sylvan writing tutor is trained and certified to develop an individual plan for your child's specific writing needs. To determine and teach exactly to the needs of your child, your Sylvan writing tutor will use the results of the Sylvan Skills Assessment® and other ongoing diagnostic tools.
Sylvan's writing tutoring program was created in accordance with the standards for language arts instruction in major school districts across the nation. Additionally, every Sylvan writing tutor delivers our program in compliance with standards set by the National Council of Teachers of English. At Sylvan, you'll see your child engage in active thinking and writing activities that will increase his interest and performance in writing, and in learning overall.
