The SAT is one of the milestones that families have to go through on their way to competitive high schools and colleges. This standardized test involves critical reading, writing and mathematical reasoning-skills that cannot be developed in a day. Although Elizabeth Fraley Kinder Ready is an expert in early childhood, the philosophy that underpins us allows us to support the academic process that leads to performance, such as the SAT, which is the result of the long-term process. The self-esteem, intellectual skill and true love to learn that we develop at the early stage itself are the key building blocks of all the future challenges in academic life, such as passing standardized tests.
Developing Core Cognitive Skills at the Onset
To be successful in SAT, it is necessary not only to memorize but also to have proper executive ability, analytical thought, and problem-solving agility. We aim to develop these foundational capabilities through one-on-one learning sessions through our Kinder Ready Tutoring program. We also involve young learners in tasks that build logical reasoning, recognition of patterns and following intricate instructions, which are precursors to critical thinking, which are evaluated in the SAT. Individually-paced, interest-based lessons are a way to develop the flexible and agile mind required to read passages of complex reading and solve multi-step math questions in a few years.
Developing the Ability to Face Problems
The attitude of a student may be the least valued aspect of the performance in standardized tests. The feeling of anxiety and self-doubt may have a disastrous effect on performance, no matter how well the student knows. The Kinder Ready Elizabeth Fraley mission is to enable children to gain the confidence and love of learning. We foster a good, stress-free atmosphere in which hard work is applauded, and difficulties are perceived as challenging puzzles. This academic self-esteem that is developed at an early age is priceless. A student who is curious and resilient in their approach to learning is much more likely to face the stress of timed testing.
Creating a Lifelong Passion for Reading and Learning
A large part of the SAT is a test of verbal logic and understanding. The vocabulary and reading fluency of the child are not developed during a final cramming course that takes over a decade. Our practice at Elizabeth Fraley Kinder Ready is to expose children to rich language and various texts during preschool. A kid who finds a passion in stories and non-fiction at a young age develops into a better and more active reader in high school. Such an ingrained familiarity with language is a clear-cut edge in the critical reading and writing parts of the SAT.
Although the SAT is a standard among senior students, when these students are still young, the road to the ultimate destination starts during childhood. The multifaceted training of Kinder Ready Tutoring is not just the guarantee of kindergarten preparedness but the creation of the intellectual basis of a successful academic life. The mental ability, unwavering confidence and love of learning fostered by the Elizabeth Fraley Kinder Ready philosophy have been the final training for all tests, challenges and opportunities that a student will ever face on the way to college and beyond.
