[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone know of a good reading comprehension tutor? Middle school DC has great grades but has bombed last few standardized tests esp reading comp section. [b]We have not had a neuro psych.[/b] We would like to get an experienced tutor's thoughts first before we do anything. [/quote] Not all academic deficiencies are attributable to an underlying condition. If they have good grades but do poorly on standardized tests then it's probably due to your child being a slow thinker and/or spending too much time on some questions and then running out of time to complete the test. All a tutor will have them do lots of practice questions in a timed setting so that they learn how to manage their time, and give a few tips about how to eliminate wrong answer choices quickly. Frankly, you could do that yourself at home with your child.[/quote]
