✅ Students Preparing for Kindergarten – A kindergarten readiness program helps young learners develop social skills, literacy skills, and confidence before starting school.

✅ Gifted & Advanced Learners – If your child is excelling and needs more challenge, STEM tutoring or enrichment programs can provide engaging, hands-on learning opportunities.

Struggling Readers: The Stats Every Parent Should Know

Many parents wonder, “Does my child actually need a tutor, or will they catch up on their own?” While some children do improve over time, research shows that early reading intervention is crucial for long-term success. Here are some key reading statistics every parent should know:

📖 75% of students who struggle with reading in third grade continue to struggle in high school. Early intervention with a reading tutor can prevent long-term academic challenges.

📖 Students who don’t read at grade level by third grade are four times more likely to drop out of high school.Building strong early literacy skills is essential for lifelong learning.

📖 1 in 5 children has dyslexia or another reading difficulty. A dyslexia tutor or specialized online reading tutor can provide the right strategies for success.

📖 Children with ADHD or autism often need structured, multisensory learning approaches. Autism reading tutors and ADHD tutoring programs help build focus, confidence, and comprehension skills.

📖 Summer learning loss can cause struggling readers to fall even further behind. A summer reading program or elementary reading tutor can help prevent skill regression.

If your child is frustrated with reading, avoiding books, or struggling to keep up, personalized tutoring can provide the support they need to become a confident, successful reader.

Key Factors for Faster Progress:
✔️ Consistent tutoring (at least 2-3 times per week)
