Look for indicators such as:  ◦ Grades slowly start to Improve in school
The teacher says he/she is starting to participate in class or become less disruptive He/she becomes a happier child He/she becomes more confident in their learning. Homework starts to become less of a struggle or more independent There are no more tears, less whining, or temper tantrums He/she asks for you to read to them or picks up a book to read alone He/she listens to an audio recording of a book (may or may not follow along with the printed book) Brings home a certificate or award earned from school… or even went to the “treasure box” The “AR” test was passed! Or improvement on the reading screener done at school. In addition, we progress monitor during the tutoring sessions and do a more formal assessment every 4-6 months. We include time in our schedule for a quick 5-minute checkup if you have questions at the end of your child’s session.  If you’d like to schedule a more formal meeting, please reach out to discuss progress, test scores, assessments, etc. These meetings are scheduled in 15-minute increments and are prorated.
