Sylvan Online - Making the Grade

Poor grades are a warning sign of Skill Gaps—weaknesses in foundation skills. Your child will keep struggling until the Gaps are identified and corrected. Sylvan Online's Online Skills Assessment will identify the Gaps and map out a program for learning to eliminate your child's Skill Gaps.

You're puzzled. You know your child is smart. You've seen him take on a video game and figure it out in minutes, while you're still reading the instructions. So why is he getting such poor grades? Why have his previously good grades slipped? Poor grades or declining grades are the most visible signs that your child has Skill Gaps.

Most probably, your child has a Gap in foundation skills—something she missed or just didn't get in an earlier grade. Maybe she has reading Skill Gaps. Since reading is the foundation of learning, weak reading skills mean that your child will struggle with nearly every subject. Or maybe there are Gaps in math skills. If she didn't get long division, you know she'll be lost in algebra. And forget geometry, trigonometry or calculus—the path to college and a good job. Are Skill Gaps standing between your child and better grades? Between your bright child and a brighter future?

Strong Skills Lead To Good Grades
Maybe you've hired a tutor and gotten your child through the last test or the last course. But how about the next test and the next course? Without fixing Skill Gaps, your child might get by, but he'll continue to run into obstacles. He'll have a difficult time working independently. His grades won't improve until you zero in on his specific Skill Gaps and correct them.
