What Your Child Will Learn in 12th Grade Reading

Our online reading tutors guide seniors from high school reading to college-level complex texts.

👩‍🏫

Masterful writing & editorial grammar

📚

High-level comprehension & research readiness

Students master inference and argument evaluation alongside textual evidence interpretation to spot logical fallacies and analyze complex claims. They also practice the synthesis of multiple texts, learning to pull sources together into cohesive research.

📊

Global literature & capstone creative writing

Students learn theme and tone analysis in literature through novels, plays, poetry, essays, and nonfiction. Seniors learn how authors use structure, word choice, and style to shape an argument or message.

This was a positive experience not only for my child but for us as parents. Our son seemed confident but with room to grow. The pace was great. Gave him time to think and was given tips that he can work on. We feel he will be walking into 5th grade much more consistently.

When my son first started Brighterly, he was reading and writing below grade level. We started him off with 2 lessons but quickly increase it to 4 lessons a week for English. Not only is he reading with confidence now but he's also writing with confidence.
