My ten year old was having problems with reading. She was in fourth grade and the school placed her in a reading assistance program. She was getting nowhere in class. I tried to help her at home and she continued to struggle.
She saw a commercial about Sylvan on the TV and asked if she could go. I was so impressed; she was having problems and was looking for answers. We started Sylvan when she started the fifth grade. She scored on a second grade level for reading. In less than a year she was scoring above a seventh grade level for reading.
She is a very shy child and never liked to read out loud in class. She now volunteers to read in class. I was so amazed when she asked to read to the class in Sunday school. We just started the sixth grade and I got a call from her teacher. She called to tell me how wonderfully my child reads out loud in class. Now that is the kind of teacher phone call you love to get!!!
I don't know how Sylvan does it, but whatever it is... IT WORKS! My child's confidence has soared and I LOVE THAT!!!
