Tutoring Program!
Passport Learning has a tutoring program proven to accelerate your child 2.5 grades in reading and/or mathematics. The following information was obtained from the Passport Learning website.
The Academy of Reading program is designed to set students up for success. This is accomplished using an assessment to target specific subskills that may be holding a particular student back. The results place each student in one of three groups:
· S—scanning/sequencing
Students experience difficulty in scanning words on a page.
· A—auditory/visual
Students have trouble connecting specific sounds with what they see.
· O—oral expression
Students struggle with pronunciation and may have a slow speech pattern.
The Academy of Math’s lively interactive software program is based on four fundamental learning principles designed for improving math comprehension through targeted instruction:
· Accurate Placement: The program begins by determining the most appropriate starting point for every student, suggesting an effective intervention strategy in each case.
· Individualized Learning: Students work at their own pace, according to their own abilities—receiving constant feedback to motivate and encourage their progress.
· Skills Progression: Proceeding skill by skill, students advance to the next stage of learning only when they have achieved mathematical proficiency at the preceding level.
· Comprehensive Curriculum: From absolute beginner to basic high-school math, the program allows students to backtrack as far as they need to in order to fill in “skills gaps” and to accelerate ahead as their proficiency improves. The result goes beyond simple homework assistance to truly improving math comprehension in terms of real, grade-level advancement.
In each program the students work at a pace comfortable for them. The math program has eight levels. The students gradually learn how to solve more complex problems. The reading program increases the students’ comprehension by guiding the students through the exercises. It is like having your on personal tutor for your child. The students are guide through the lessons via auditory commands. The Passport Learning tutoring program is packaged on CDs and ordered through the Bob Jones University Press website.
