【推娃要素的思考和探讨】

CAPA-NoVA Education & Community

7月15日 周五 美东8:30PM

每个家长都有一个心愿,希望孩子们长大后能进他们梦想的大学深造,找到一份好工作。在大家的眼里,进了名牌学校,就是“成功了”。

“成功”的定义或者标准是什么?

如何在孩子成长的早期就开始培养他们的眼光; 挖掘孩子对钟爱专业的热忱?家长如何通过日常生活的点点滴滴有意识地从小锻炼孩子强大的抗压能力?

孩子如何打下扎实的语言功底, 让熟练的写作技能成为优势,无论完成学业,申请大学还是踏入社会都得天独厚?

Vocabulary and Reading Comprehension Strategies to Make Learning Fun and Memorable

Vocabulary is an essential component of language and having a rich vocabulary helps children not only to read well but to understand what they are reading. It makes speaking, writing, and overall communicating effective. The larger their vocabulary, the more they are able to fully understand the text from word problems, literature as well as the contents of words they encounter in everyday life. Building a robust vocabulary is a skill set that children must master in order to find success in their academic careers and beyond. However, many public schools have strayed away from teaching strictly vocabulary lessons.

Enhance Your Vocabulary and Reading Comprehension

Reading scores have been low nationally for quite some time and research has shown that children who do not master vocabulary well by the 4th grade remain poor readers for years to come. Old vocabulary lessons, and unfortunately the most common method still used in public schools today, consist of drill assignments where students worked mostly independently on words throughout their week. This gave vocabulary learning a reputation for being boring and ineffective and relied mostly on memorization rather than truly developing a skill.

VSA Future aims to cultivate a well-rounded set of reading and vocabulary skills in students that will enable them to succeed as learners, thinkers, and writers, and do it in a way that is fun, engaging and most importantly memorable. VSA has developed a summer reading comprehension and vocabulary program that uses a scientific approach to help children master vocabulary through reading while building connections between Greek and Latin roots. The program uses various methods to help children fully participate with their teachers and peers and keeps their attention through exciting and interactive lessons they will not forget. Classes for the VSA Future Reading Comprehension and Vocabulary classes are held Monday and Wednesdays over the summer and last 2 hours.

Enhance Your Vocabulary and Reading Comprehension
VSA FUTURE LLC

VSA Vocabulary brings language to life in daily classes. The class learns to use Greek and Latin roots to categorize unfamiliar words based on its function and part of speech, and they build connections to other age-appropriate vocabulary based on word roots. Studying word roots opens children’s eyes to new words, making vocabulary mastery easier, faster, and more enjoyable. With a rich vocabulary, students become stronger writers who can articulate their ideas clearly and effectively.

VSA Reading Comprehension gives students a firm understanding in fiction and nonfiction analysis, as they examine perspective, voice, tone, and writing structure in discussion and multiple-choice questions. With daily practice across a range of texts, students become fluent critical readers who can confidently approach any passage with ease.

“I have 3 elementary school age children in 1st, 3rd and 5th grade. Thanks to VSA Future’s online learning, they are ahead of their school curriculum and have become more confident academically. VSA Future pays great attention to each of the students and puts in extra resources and efforts to ensure the quality of online learning. VSA utilizes multiple advanced technologies and online learning tools for students to have instantaneous interactions. As a result, kids are very engaged during the classes and they get extra homework and practice time to reinforce concepts. Most importantly, the quality of teachers from VSA are top-notch and very experienced to inspire each individual to learn and improve. Thank you VSA Future and teachers! You are the best!”

What software, equipment, and materials will my child need?

All campers should have access to a computer, laptop, or tablet with video and sound capabilities. VSA Future recommends that students use headphones (with microphone capabilities, when possible) for best sound quality and to focus. Students should have the Zoom app installed.

VSA FUTURE TESTIMONIALS

The remote learning experience with VSA Future is GREAT! I thought remote learning would be very challenging when I first heard about it—if it is challenging for adults to work from home, how could VSA Future manage so many kids at the same time? However, I am happily surprised—the classes have gone very well. Academically, we got the same classes and learning plans without any disruption. I appreciate that my son has extra learning opportunities, and I now have some time to do my personal work, instead of turning on the TV to entertain him when I am busy. VSA Future teachers are so supportive and dedicated. The Director calls every parent before class if their kids forgot the class or are late. Now it is a new routine for my family. Keep learning and growing and save commute time with VSA Future. Do not spoil me, I am getting used to this new learning model!

—Parent, 3rd Grader

I have three kids. VSA Future offers a variety of course selections to fit the needs for each of my child. The teachers and staff are great to work with. My kids have been enjoying the classes. They have learned and developed so much on many different skillsets from English, Math, Reading & Writing and Public Speaking. I was not sure if the remote learning would work out. Turns out that my concerns are totally unnecessary. The director has done an amazing job for the virtual class. My kids did not feel much difference. The online class is definitely a saver for us during this challenging time! Really appreciate the flexibility VSA Future has offered. Kudos to the director and her staff for being flexible and good quality of classes! Given the current environment where the on-site camping is not realistic, I am very excited that the center offers virtual camp! Another great help just in time for working parent. It keeps them busy and they will continue to learn! Can’t wait to join the camp. Really appreciate for all the center has done for us!

—Parent, 4th Grader, 7th Grader, and 10th Grader

A VSA Future teacher has been tutoring Andrew for almost one and half years. We can clearly tell in the past year, Andrew made lots of progress on his reading, writing, and speaking. More importantly, he is more confident in expressing his ideas especially in front of his classmates and teachers. With his well-prepared curriculums, the teacher made class interesting and easier. For example, poem writing is a hard topic for students. But under the teacher’s guidance, with carefully analyzing sample poems, learning the techniques on rhyming and organizing stanzas, Andrew really enjoyed writing multiple decent haikus and sonnets by himself. Also students’ tutoring progress is well-communicated with parents. After every class, we will receive a summary on the class content, student’s general performance, and assignments, etc, so we know exactly what part Andrew is doing well, and what part he needs to work harder. Andrew has been very happy working with the VSA Future teacher and we really appreciated the teacher’s great help to Andrew. Thank you so much!

We see the difference!

My son has been taking VSA courses for years and we all have had very good experiences. First, my son enjoys the classes. The teachers are great and engage the students during each class. The director, Julia, is motivating and inspiring helping them to stay focused. We have absolutely seen the difference in just one year and he wouldn’t be where he is without VSA Future.

ACTIVITIES

Jump into fun when you enroll in our virtual camp!

Writing And Vocabulary

A rich vocabulary can enliven a student’s writing, improve communication and enable them to articulate their ideas clearly and effectively.

Guided group activities, independent practice, and homework assignments in sentence usage build a solid foundation in each unit. Interactive slides, vivid storytelling, and creative writing practice with new vocabulary make each lesson a class to remember!

Public Speaking

Speaking boldly and clearly has never been more important! In our innovative Public Speaking classes, students learn to project their voices and make their opinions known!

Public speaking builds a child’s ability to effectively argue an opinion, be persuasive, and hold an audience’s interest in a topic.

“We can clearly tell in the past year, Andrew made lots of progress on his reading, writing, and speaking. More importantly, he is more confident in expressing his ideas, especially in front of his classmates and teachers. With his well-prepared curriculums, the teacher made class interesting and easier.” —Parent, 6th Grader
