Reading Tutoring Plan for 2nd Grade

1 Skill Assessment

At Genie Academy, we assess each child's reading level and learning style to make our classes specifically for them.

2 Customized Lesson Plan

Then, we create a personalized lesson plan. This plan focuses on the areas they need the most help.

3 Reading Teaching

Then, we start teaching reading in an easy way. We use different methods to make sure your child understands and enjoys learning.

4 Concluding Progress Test

At the end of the program, we have a test to see how much your child has learned. This shows us what else they might need to work on.

This tutoring process is continuous; after the progress test, we reassess your child's skills, update the lesson plan accordingly, and continue teaching.

Common Questions About Reading Tutoring

How long are the classes?

Classes run once a week and vary in length, depending on your child’s age. Toddler classes for children ages 3 ½ to 5 are for one hour. Junior and senior classes for students older than 5 are two hours. Class sizes are deliberately kept small so that teachers can give each child the maximum attention needed. No more than five children are in the toddler classes. No more than eight students are in the junior and senior classes.

How soon will my child make progress?

Each child learns at a different speed. We encourage you to keep your child in the program for at least three months until they become proficient in visualization.

Will Genie Academy conflict with the way my child is taught at school?

Genie Academy complements schoolwork because children develop a better understanding of math on the abacus than is possible with the traditional math curriculum in schools. Faced with stimulating challenges, children find that schoolwork becomes easier. Genie Academy also teaches how to solve word problems, which are traditionally the bane of every student’s existence.

How soon can my child get started?

Getting started is easy. Call us at (732) 659-4364 or come in for a free class. Sign up now. We will give you and your child a free demonstration of the abacus and an abacus to take home.
