📣 Gratitude is a powerful feeling! 📣

Research shows that people who are more grateful also tend to have higher self-esteem. When you pay attention to the ways other people are good to you or things you have accomplished, you develop a stronger sense of your own value.

Start making gratitude a habit for you and your child today! Think about one thing you're grateful for and write it down now.

Happy Thanksgiving to all of our Huntington Learning Center families!

We are so grateful you have trusted us to help your children succeed in school and beyond. 💚

"I love how Huntington has such a positive atmosphere. My son went from ‘I can’t’ to confident pretty quickly after starting tutoring. Huntington does a great job of tailoring a learning plan to each student’s needs. My son has only been attending tutoring for a few weeks and I already see improvements!" - Sara M.

Studying effectively can be a challenge for children with ADHD.

How can you help your child have their best chance of success on tests? Start by focusing on building study skills. The way your child does this in elementary school vs. high school will look very different, of course, but your child can embrace a few good habits:

📙 Lay out a study plan for each subject/class with daily checklists for the week(s) leading up to the test.

📗 Space out studying to avoid cramming.

📙 Organize a study space that is free from distractions.

📗 Build stamina by breaking work sessions into short 10- or 15-minute periods with five-minute breaks in between.

Is your child reading at grade level? Come to Huntington for a comprehensive evaluation to see where your child stands.

Since it's almost report card season, let's do a on how all those A, B, C's often don't feel as easy as 1, 2, 3!

Some schools separate the academic year into three terms (Sept-Dec, Dec-Mar, Mar-June) and at the end of each term, students will get a report card. Other schools may do their report cards quarterly or just 2x a year.

Between those report cards, schools may also issue progress reports to track a student's performance.

So, why do schools do so much reporting?! Well, report cards and progress reports allow students and their parents to see if school performance is slipping and if intervention is required to bring up grades.

Give us a call at 1-800-CAN-LEARN or visit http://bit.ly/3TNRq6r to learn how we can help students strengthen skills in certain areas, like reading, math or science.

💭 If you're concerned your child might have lost math skills because of the pandemic, you're not alone.

The pandemic hit students harder in math than other subjects. Now that school is back in-person, you might be seeing some warning signs that your child is falling behind.

There's a simple solution 💯: Huntington's K-12 math tutoring programs.

We perform a comprehensive Academic Evaluation to determine your child's math strengths and weaknesses. Then, we develop a personalized plan to meet your child's academic needs and schedule.

You're one step away from help. Call 1-800 CAN LEARN to get started.

For Young Readers Week, we're sharing some of the amazing benefits reading has for young children:

📗 Cognitive development
📗 Better vocabulary
📗 Enhanced empathy
📗 Bonding between parent and child
📗 Sparks curiosity
📗 Develops concentration
📗 Encourages creativity and imagination
📗 Reduces screen time

Reading with your children creates a sense of routine and security for them, which will ensure they continue to enjoy reading as they grow older.

One of the best things you can help your child work toward is becoming an independent learner. 💯

Independent students take responsibility for school and acknowledge that success in school will help them reach their goals. How can you raise an independent learner? ⬇️

✨ Focus on effort and learning more than grades and GPA
🎯 Set goals and discuss the future
🗨️ Talk about school as a process of learning
🛑 Resist the urge to step in too often

To learn more about these tips, click the link in the bio to read our blog.

Many students need individualized help from time to time, but for certain students, that help might be more specific and defined by an Individualized Education Plan (IEP).

An IEP is a written document that the school’s special education team creates for each child who receives any special education and related services from the school.

We've put together a blog post covering the steps that happen before and after an IEP is developed. Read the full post here: https://bit.ly/3G9hqWA
