http://community.greatschools.net/q-and-a/150670/Any-recommendations-for-readingcomprehension-tutoring-during-the-summer-months-for-my-7year-old-son- Our son was adopted from Russia in 2003 and we've done extensive outreach with him in ESL and Montessori programming through Kindergarten. He is enrolled in our public school and experiencing challenges with his reading/comprehension. Both my husband/I spend 1-2 hours nightly with him on his homework assignments but there's a lot of inconsistency from him on reading performance. I've reached out to his teacher and ESL instructor for advice... our district does not offier 1 on 1 tutoring over the summer. We are checking into Sylvan and Hunting Learning Centers for summer programming. I understand this can be costly.. but worth the investment if his reading and comprehension levels improve. Unfortunately, we do not have very extensive health records for our son from infancy to 3 years of age... but Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) does have some of these attributes due to his background and known experiences in Russia.
