The student will continue to improve and enhance their reading skills, practice addition and subtraction, and be instructed to solve word problems. Students will enhance their problem-solving skills and become more proficient in computational skills. Elementary education strongly focuses on reading, language arts, and number logic. As we learn to read more independently, they will progress in fluency, analysis, and comprehension. Students will begin to be assigned more independent work.

In this entire tutoring class, students will learn everything needed to succeed as a first graders. This class will be taught by experienced primary teachers and homeschooled parent. Because Cherry Learning Center is a homeschool learning institution and we take our learner's learning very seriously, you will receive progress reports. We love to have an open community with our teachers and families.
