READING / LANGUAGE ARTS TUTORING
It has long been perceived that third grade reading scores can predict the number of future prison beds needed. Whether this is a myth or not, research studies have shown strong connections between early low literacy skills and increasing incarceration rates.
A major emphasis of our program is to increase students' reading and comprehensive skills. This is achieved by meeting students where they are and including lessons and stories of most interest to them. Our tutors also assist with various levels of writing.
Since 2013, the Chapman Foundation has provided Math and Reading tutoring for students in grades K–12. Students receive personalized academic support from tutors who are committed to helping them strengthen their skills and build confidence. Each student completes an initial learning assessment to identify strengths and areas for growth. Based on the results, a Personal Learning Plan (PLP) is developed to guide instruction and address the student's individual academic needs.
Students are assisted with their academic goals in school, state exams (i.e. PSSA and Keystones) as well as college entrance exams (i.e., SAT PSAT and ACT). Our tutors closely monitor students' progress and help students build their confidence whether it comes to doing homework assignments or taking a big exam.
