Poor grades, aggressive behavior, hassles over homework or poor self-esteem tell you your child's in trouble. These behaviors are warning signs of Skill Gaps - weaknesses in reading or math fundamentals. Without a solid skills foundation, your child can't build new skills. But where exactly are the Gaps? You don't have to guess. Sylvan Online's Online Skills Assessment will precisely identify your child's Skill Gaps. What's more, we'll personalize a learning plan to fix the problems and make your child a successful, confident learner. Warning Signs of Skill Gaps
You know your child is struggling in school. You've seen the warning signs: poor or failing grades, low self-esteem, behavior problems. Maybe your well-mannered child starts a fight; your shy kid is acting out. Your heart sinks when you hear him say, "Mom, I can't do it. I'm not as smart as the other kids." Maybe his teacher says, "Your child's not working hard enough." But he spends hours on homework every night. You know your child needs help. But what's the problem? And how do you help? Skill Gaps Put Your Child's Academic Performance At Risk These problems are warning signs of Skill Gaps. Skill Gaps occur when classroom lessons move on before your child has mastered a critical skills set. Your child may have a Gap in a critical foundation skill in reading and/or math. If your child hasn't mastered multiplication and division, imagine how much fun she'll have in algebra! If your child has a Gap in basic reading skills, she may be failing science, social studies or English. Reading is the foundation for all learning. Without strong reading skills, your child can't learn. Learning Problems Multiply If Skill Gaps Aren't Fixed If your child has Skill Gaps, learning problems quickly multiply. In the classroom, your child feels the concepts are "over his head." Homework becomes a hassle. If your child didn't "get it," in class, he's unable to work independently to complete his homework. At this point, it doesn't matter how hard your child works. Until the Skill Gaps are identified and fixed, his hard work will result in frustration and poor self-esteem. Your child will come to feel that he can't learn. But how do you fix the Skill Gaps? Help her with homework? That's not working. Homework's become a nightly battleground. Both you and your child dread these nightly sessions. Maybe you've hired a tutor. The tutor's gotten her through the exam, or even the course. But then comes the next test, a higher-level course: your child is still struggling. You've pasted over the problem, but you haven't fixed the Skill Gaps. Sylvan Online Finds The Skill Gaps And Fixes Them Until you've identified your child's learning problems, you can't fix them.
