What Your Child Will Learn in 7th Grade Reading

Middle school reading tutors specializing in 7th grade cover literary analysis skills for kids, nonfiction text structure understanding, and critical reading skills development.

🤩

Analyzing text structure & organization

By comparing and contrasting texts and analyzing character development, students improve their analytical skills. Tutors ask engaging questions throughout the class, which helps build interest in reading.

🚀

Identifying perspectives & points of view

Students work on theme and central idea identification for different texts. This includes determining the author’s purpose and tone, point of view, and writing style.

👩🏻‍🏫

Literary devices & figurative language

As part of reading comprehension strategies in middle school, students learn to identify figurative language such as metaphors, similes, and symbolism. To improve their understanding of texts, they learn how to use context clues for vocabulary expansion, so they can guess the meaning of unknown words.

📊

Evaluating arguments & claims

Classes focus on evaluating information and expressing opinions. Students do this by performing argumentative text analysis and citing textual evidence.

Everything Your 7th Grader Needs to Succeed in Reading

7th grade reading tutoring focuses on helping students build stronger inferencing and evidence-based answers. For this, students may need to review grammar, vocabulary, and other foundational reading skills. Our tutors cover all these skills in their classes.

Love it!

This educational company is great! This got my son from being an A/B student to a Straight A student. I can't believe how much this tutor, named Neptune Irish, improved my grades.

The experience was great.

I was surprised to see my daughter so confident and concentrated during her tutoring session. She has ADHD, and she gets very anxious and distracted easily, but during her one-on-one session, she was very focused.
