Beginning Reading

Sylvan Beginning Reading provides basic reading skills to students in kindergarten through second grade, or to older students needing review. Students benefit from an integrated approach to reading that combines letter and word recognition, phonics and comprehension. We teach young readers to find meaning in what they read, and how to sharpen both oral and listening skills. Positive interaction with teachers and peers helps young students become confident, enthusiastic readers for a lifetime.

Sylvan Learning Programs
contain the following fundamental elements that teach students to overcome academic frustrations and meet their full potential:

• The Sylvan Skills-Assessment.^SM A comprehensive battery of subject-specific, standardized tests that provide the blueprint for building your student's personalized program.

• Personalization. Using the results of the initial Assessment, we create a personalized program that targets skill gaps.

• High Educational Standards. Sylvan employs education experts to develop our programs, ensuring that students receive a curriculum backed by sound educational research and extensive experience. These high-quality programs are delivered by a thoroughly trained and dedicated teaching staff.

• Motivation and Positive Reinforcement. We deliver our programs in a positive environment where students are rewarded for effort and success. Praise and recognition motivate children and turn them into confident, independent students.
