Tacoma District Curriculum Used in Our In-Home Tutoring Programs
Tacoma Public Schools follow a comprehensive curriculum plan modeled after the Washington State Standards. The English Language Arts curriculum includes a reading and writing curriculum that allows students to enhance their writing skills through narrative, persuasive and expository writing. A focus on oral communication skills is also embedded throughout the English Language Arts curriculum and is practiced through oral presentations and collaborative projects. Each standard taught in these strands builds on the year before. Students are required to take three years of English Language Arts for graduation from the district and four years if they plan on attending college after high school.
We currently cover the following Tacoma-area school district: Tacoma Public Schools.

Chalk Talk: Helping the Child who Hates School
Trying to send a child who does not school to the daily event can be testing. To help make this easier parents can show a child how going to school does not need to be a chore by taking a community class or craft class. Then come home and share the excitement and what was learned with the child. Next, many children learn through reading, so find out what the child is learning at school, take a trip to the library and find book to share with the child each night. This provides a different point of view and if it is a piece of fiction based around the facts, the child may find that learning is fun. Next, a child may enjoy going to school more if the parent volunteers either in the classroom or in the school office. They will see this as a way for the parent to show interest in their lives and what they are doing.
