[quote=Anonymous]15:56 again. Wanted to add, in the tutor realm - I worked with my kid myself when he was in elementary school, for basic reading comprehension, and I used the aforementioned workbooks plus other reading comprehension books from the same company. Then in middle school, I hired the English teacher responsible for training the other teachers at his area high school. She was EXCELLENT. She came for 2 years to our house, once a week, and I noticed that what she mostly worked on was inferencing (identifying implicit information from a text), and structuring his writing, which he was initially very bad at. He didn't know where to start when formulating a multi-paragraph response. She taught him to write a good analysis with evidence from the text, which proved very useful when he did a ton of APs in the Humanities in high school. He still has difficulties with creative writing, as well as writing about himself (he never quite strikes the right tone), which made it difficult for him to write his college essays, and now his cover letters for internships... but I guess we can't have everything!
