Success from a Happy Mom!
“Hi, my name is K. and I’m a mother of four children. T. is my first born. Since he started in the Community Learning Center program I’ve seen a lot of improvements in my son. When he says a sentence, he learns if it is correct. If it’s not correct, he will fix it. He learned to sound a word out and if he doesn’t know, he will ask for help.
“He talks with a better vocabulary and is a very, very, very good reader and speller.
“To be a part of this program is a blessing and treasure because it shows me that there are people in this world that care about my son’s future and education, which I love very much.
“T. is the oldest and has a little brother and two little sisters who look up to him dearly. His dad and I do as well. We teach our kids to be better in life than what Mommy and Daddy did, which I truly believe he will do.
“He says he enjoys school, which I am very proud of. I always tell him that he can be anything and do anything he wants to do as long as he puts his mind to it. He says he wants to be a police officer. Whatever he chooses to be is fine with Mom and Dad. We love all of our kids and since T. is the leader we know off the top of our heads that we have winners, not losers.
“I love all the help you ladies have given my son, more than you will know. You will forever be appreciated and never forgotten.
With much love and happy honors, K.” (Mom of a Pro Tutoring Student)

Helpful Habits to Improve Overall Study
Physical activity improves blood circulation, ensuring that oxygen and nutrients reach the brain, which enhances cognitive function. Exercise also reduces stress and anxiety, keeping the mind clear.
Sleep is just as important and is essential for memory and learning new information. Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night so you can stay focused throughout the day. It’s also extremely important that you incorporate vitamins and minerals into your diet, as well as drinking lots of water.
Dehydration can impair concentration and memory, so drink plenty throughout the day. Make sure to avoid excessive sugar, refined carbs, and processed foods.
Remember to engage in activities that stimulate the brain, such as puzzles, reading, and learning new skills. This can improve problem-solving skills and keep the brain sharp.

Fun Syllable Games for Kids
Word Building Blocks:
- Give your child letter blocks or tiles and multi-syllable word cards. Have them build the words by arranging the blocks according to the syllables. This visual approach helps reinforce the structure of multi-syllable words.
Syllable Clap and Count:
- Say multi-syllable words aloud and have your child clap or tap out the syllables as they say the word. This helps them break down the word into its individual parts and improves syllable awareness.
Word Race:
- Divide a group of children into teams and set up a relay race where they have to run to a board, pick a multi-syllable word card, and correctly sound out the word before the next teammate goes up.
Syllable Sorting:
- Write multi-syllable words on cards and have your child sort them based on the number of syllables. For example, they could sort words into categories of two-syllable, three-syllable, and four-syllable words.
Should your child need help with learning multi-syllable words, contact us at 727-441-4444. Our tutors can help.
Student Success!
“I started on Kindergarten math and in maybe a year and a half, I’ve gotten through Kindergarten and 1st grade math and now I’m almost done with 2nd grade math. I’m on 2nd grade, Unit 6. I only have 14 more math books to go! I have a goal to get to 4th grade by when the next school year starts. I’m in 3rd grade phonics now but I’ve got to make it through the rest of the program by May.” – R. (3rd grade student)
Study Skills for Life Success – from two brothers
“When I was doing the Study Skills course, when I finished, I felt amazing. I was able to know everything about the three barriers. Now, studying will be easier than ever and my teacher (CLC tutor) is the best! I would know that I don’t know sometimes but now, I do and I know how to fix it.” – O. (7th grade)
“I learned the three barriers to study, and I also learned how to look up a word. This helps me learn and focus better. This can help me become a smart pilot and fly over the world. This all came from my tutor.” – Z. (5th grade student)
