Why Choose Smarttutor.com Instead of Traditional Summer School? |
Sometimes summer school, by its very nature, can be distracting. With traditional summer school, children are usually back in a classroom setting, which tends to be very unmotivating. Children also feel they need a break from the routine of the school year. They would rather be outside playing with their friends. SmartTutor.com is an award-winning, web-based software program. This means that our Reading and Math program can be used on any computer at any time. And, as parents, you know how much children love using the computer! Smarttutor.com’s highly focused, high-impact approach provides an environment where your child will have fun and feel successful while learning, which is half the battle, especially during the summer months. |

Our Curriculum Is Research-Based and Aligned to National and State Standards |
SmartTutor.com’s elementary curriculum meets state and national standards and is research-based with input from subject matter experts, curriculum experts, teacher and parents. So, as a parent, you can feel secure that your child is receiving lessons that provide the essential academic skills they need. |

Individualized Lesson Plans to Meet Each Child’s Academic Needs |
The SmartTutor.com program starts off with a placement test to evaluate your child’s strengths and weaknesses within each Reading and Math sub-skill and then automatically creates an individualized lesson plan designed specifically for them. For example, if your child struggles in Phonics but has strong Sight Word skills, he will begin at a lower level in Phonics and a higher level in Sight Words. This allows children to work at their own pace, moving quickly through the lessons they understand well and slowing down when they get to a sub-skill that is more challenging. |

A Powerful Learning Tool |
| Each lesson contains a full interactive tutorial, a review and a quiz. We teach each lesson and then allow your child to practice the new skills they’ve learned before giving them a short quiz in order to ensure they have mastered the key concepts taught in each lesson. Research shows that children learn best when they receive positive, immediate feedback, and the SmartTutor.com program does so in a fun, engaging way through the use of cartoon characters. This is especially important during the summertime when many children have an extra hard time staying focused and attentive. |

Allow Smarttutor.com to Automatically Work on Its Own or Customize a Learning Program for Your Child Based on Their Summertime Academic Needs |
Simply let SmartTutor work on its own OR tailor a lesson plan that is targeted to meet your child’s summertime academic needs. For example, choose ONLY Geometry lessons for your child if that is the sub-skill your child needs extra help with over the summer. |

Fun and Educational – The Perfect Software Program for Summer Use |
| SmartTutor.com is designed to work with the learning styles of today’s learners. We provide a engaging and non-threatening environment where children learn while having fun and feel successful. Our confidence-building interactive lessons enable your child to learn at their own pace. And motivation is not an issue because children stay interested and engaged through the use of colorful graphics, arcade-like games, cool cartoon characters and captivating themes. For example, they’ll go to Metro Zoo and learn about Drawing Conclusions and Making Inferences while reading about the red-eyed tree frog OR practice Cause and Effect while reading about a boy who was bullied in school. They never know where they will go next, but one thing is for sure: they will learn while having fun! |
