Research shows that providing your children with addition reading support has beneficial long-term effects on their education. Experts have found that children who attend high quality reading programs have more advanced literacy skills than children who do not.
Moreover, children in literacy programs have advanced social skills and are more adaptable to changes and new situations.
For many children, solid academic writing skills are missing in the foundation of their education. It is a time for both reading and writing, two facets in which there is a great deal of overlap, to take center stage in the lives of students who struggle in those areas. Upper elementary is a big step for children, complete with STARR, GA Milestones, and other tests. Consider that the quality of education you choose for your children at this stage in their development has great relevance in the long run.
