Increasing Comprehension Through Reading Tutoring

Elementary School Reading
Tutoring Programs

Young children begin to understand how language connects to their daily lives at an early age. Reading skills are crucial for elementary students to learn independently, absorb information, and enjoy reading. In these formative years, your child transitions from “learning to read” to “reading to learn.” This is achieved through a solid understanding of reading fundamentals, such as phonics, spelling, and vocabulary.

Continuing to work with a reading tutor in the later years of elementary school is equally as beneficial, providing guided support to build skills such as reading comprehension, critical thinking skills, word meaning, and the ability to form opinions after reading a story.

Middle School Reading
Tutoring Programs

Middle school students face new challenges both in and out of the classroom, with more demanding homework, tests, and quizzes. A reading tutor can help your child keep up and excel by building on foundational skills and developing more advanced reading and comprehension abilities.

Middle school reading builds upon the foundation set in elementary school, requiring a greater range and complexity of vocabulary words, the need for a deeper understanding and comprehension of literary and scientific texts, and the ability to use context to gather meaning. For both strong and struggling readers alike, Huntington’s tutoring programs offer a unique opportunity to master the skills required to be successful.

Middle school is often the right time for students to work with a reading tutor, as high school and college entrance exams such as the ACT and SAT are just right around the corner.

High School Reading
Tutoring Programs

High school students are introduced to rigorous academic standards and environments that prepare them for college and careers. These courses require the ability to extract information and interpret meanings from texts, whether explicit or implicit.

Reading comprehension tutoring will help your high school student balance with greater ease the variety of materials they are assigned. Alongside the reading tutor, your child will utilize the foundational skills developed in elementary and middle school on an advanced level, giving him or her a leg up on standardized testing, in college, and in the workplace after graduation.
