Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Clay District Curriculum
The Jefferson County School System is a large school system that is very effective in attaining student achievement. Students graduate from the school system and become successful adults. The core curriculum of Language Arts, Mathematics, Social Studies, and Science are complemented by technology in the delivery of instruction.
In Language Arts, students are taught how to use a variety of skills, such as comprehension, phonemic awareness, and fluency. In the teaching of fluency, several distinct areas are addressed and delivered as an integral aspect of reading lessons, such as allowing for repeated readings, looking and studying as to why words are connected, using appropriate pausing and speed, and using interesting reading materials to be reread often by the students. Students begin to develop the ways in which to decode meaning, build comprehension, and analyze the meaning of the material.

SchoolTutoring Academy Increased My SAT Score By 200 Points
My son’s math marks in high school have always been weak so I found it very beneficial that his ACT tutor worked on solidifying his fundamentals while prepping for the ACT.
SchoolTutoring Academy gave my daughter the confidence she needed to boost her SAT score Thank you!
SchoolTutoring has played an important role in improving our son’s confidence and attitude towards school. His grades have also improved steadily throughout the school year.
My daughter was able to improve her test scores after a few months of tutoring with SchoolTutoring. However, while raising test scores is great, the real payoff is in the self-confidence that she gained.
I just wanted to send a quick note to say thank-you! My son is very impressed with his tutor and looks forward to each session. What’s particularly amazing about this is our son has never really looked forward to math or school for that matter!
We are so happy with the results of your tutoring program and academic support. Homework time was such a stressful evening for the entire evening before we brought your tutors into our home. Thank you for all your help!
Our daughter, a first grader, struggled with basic reading and handwriting. When she began with SchoolTutoring she was almost a year behind her class. Within a year of being enrolled, she is reading above her grade level and has the confidence to match.

Chalk Talk: What is Accelerated Reader?
Accelerated Reader is a computer program that has a database of hundreds of books on a variety of levels. The students read the books that they want to be tested on, and then get on the computer program and take a test. Each book test is rated by level of difficulty, and some are worth more points than others. The many Accelerated Reader tests assess the students on the comprehension of the books, and gives them a score. Students enjoy this program as it motivates them to read more books of their choice.
