Reading and writing play a role in every academic subject. 

Reading helps children to learn to understand different perspectives, to build social-emotional skills, and to foster their imagination. Learning to decode, comprehend texts, to make predictions, and to make inferences is essential to excelling academically. 

Writing well requires combining multiple skills, from spelling to organizational skills to critical thinking and analytical abilities, as well as mastering grammatical skills. Many students spend hours staring at blank pieces of paper, unsure where to begin with writing assignments. They lose vital points on tests because they cannot answer essay questions. Learning to write effectively gives students academic confidence, makes schoolwork more manageable, and helps students better organize their thoughts.

In person or online, GAMECHANGER will connect students to tutors who will work with them, one-on-one, to help build reading skills and break down the writing process into manageable tasks and target their areas of strength and weakness. General education and multi-sensory tutors will develop customized programs designed to accommodate each individual student’s needs.
