Calling All Parents...And Students



It's easy to see your children do well in school and think that everything is covered. They must be good readers, right? They get straight A's, even in their American Literature class.

Year in and year out, Academic Approach works hard to improve reading comprehension scores, including those of Grade-A students. What we find is that once students acquire a certain level of literacy, they plateau, when, in fact, reading is a rigorous exercise in mental stamina that requires much more than simply understanding words on the page (or screen, for that matter).

With this in mind, we recommend both students and parents take a long look at some good reading habits that will serve as an effective prescription for college preparedness and more.
