Our uniquely designed custom enrichment reading courses will stretch our students' minds and help them achieve higher grades.
Academic and corporate success are highly contingent on well-developed reading skills. Students with strong reading skills are better
able to absorb information and display better understanding of the subject. Therefore, we believe that reading without comprehending is
not really reading. We teach students to make connections between the text and things they already know while they are reading. Our kids
acquire strong foundational comprehension skills and strategies that will greatly increase their academic success.
