Our summer school reading programs work because
they are developed and taught to your student on an individual basis. There is one
teacher or reading tutor for every four students. The programs relies on the
testing of your high school student to devise an individual learning plan.
We start our summer school by doing a complete evaluation of your
student's strengths and
weaknesses. After the evaluation, a reading program is
put together to advance your student up to
his/her grade level and in some cases beyond.
Our program
works because of its individualization to your high school student's
educational needs, teaching the parts
of his/her education
that are the
weakest. Once your student is brought up to
a high standard of his/her grade
level, your student starts the Effective and Efficient Reading Program we have
developed. This Reading Program is a 40 hour course designed to make
your student learn faster and easier. Our Reading Program teaches
your high school student to read and
comprehend at a higher rate than they were previously at.
The student may start on the
Effective and Efficient
Reading Program
as soon as a solid foundation in his/her grade level has been
completed.
We test your student all the way back to early
childhood if needed, making sure that all the
educational foundation stones are in place. Once the tiny pieces of knowledge
are all firmly in place we move onto the next level of knowledge. Our
goal and strategy for your student is to bring
your student up to their grade level,
at full power and strength. Our system pushes your
student into stretching
the strengths they have, to perform
at a maximum Effective and Efficient reading rate.
Parents:
Please understand:
This testing points out your child's weak points in his/her grade level - not
that your student is not at the grade level he/she is in at school.
We do not work by grade level, we test for the weakest links in your students education
through a series of diagnostic tests. The reason we do not go past your students grade
level is that they are usually at that place because of age. Reading interests
are much different at a 12 year old level than at a 15 year old level. We gear
all the Effective and Efficient Reading Program material to the grade level of the
student. We strongly believe that children should not be pushed past their
ability. Each student needs success not another failure in any form. Our
organization believes that everyone has weaknesses in their education and by
addressing the weakest links we can build those links into a solid strength. We
strongly believe this leads to a happier and more confident individual.
By strengthening the weakest areas your student will
become a stronger reader and be more confident in the years to come. Improving
grades at school will become easier and most importantly produce a happier
student.
At the completion of your students particular grade level they
naturally slip into the Effective and Efficient Reading Program designed
specifically for their level of reading. Tutor Bike Tours designs the
reading programs specifically for each level your student is at. The reading
materials for your particular student are adapted to their grade
level. We design all the reading that we incorporate into the program to
correspond to the area we are passing through. The reading is designed to fit
the history, as well as fiction from writers in that area, or about the area we
are passing through.
