Teaching your son or daughter to use English proficiently might very well be the key to his or her success at school in Utah, in exams, in their career & beyond.
Free Assessment in Garfield
Imagine your son or daughter several months or years in the future … in Garfield or elsewhere …
Is your child a smart child because he or she became an early reader, acquired a passion for knowledge, obtained early language & literacy skills & developed an air of confidence that will last them a lifetime?
Or is your child struggling to read, underperforming at school and set-up for a lifetime of frustration and disappointment?
Of course everyone wants to be the proud parent of a happy and confident son or daughter, & every parent can.
But, in order to guarantee a bright future for your son or daughter in Utah, it's often necessary to take your child's education into your own hands.
If you want your child to grow up to be smart & successful, then you need to understand how critical it is that you teach your child when his or her brain development is at its maximum.
The cerebral cortex in your son or daughter's brain is responsible for their sight, hearing, and smell. It also controls their speech, thinking, & memory. In fact, the cerebral cortex is what makes them – them! At birth, the cells in your son or daughter's cerebral cortex were poorly connected (they are for everyone). However, by 2 to 3 years old, the cerebral cortex contains 100 trillion connections. & that number remains high until the eighth birthday when it begins to slowly decline & level off to adult levels (*Ref). It's ​very important to take the opportunity to teach children during this time when brain development is at its maximum.
Teaching English to your child might be the key, not only to his or her success in school in Garfield, but also their sense of self-worth, both in Utah and beyond.

ON A PRACTICAL LEVEL, HOW IMPORTANT IS EARLY READING?
Your child's reading ability and vocabulary at 3 years old might predict his or her success in school in Garfield when they are 6 to 7 years old (*Ref).
Your child's reading ability at 6 to 7 years old might predict their success at 17 to 18 years old (*Ref)!
Your son or daughter's reading ability at 7 to 8 years old might determine his or her graduation from senior school in Garfield (*Ref).
Children who can't read proficiently by 7 to 8 years old are four times more likely to leave school without a diploma/results than proficient readers (*Ref).
Children who are not taught Phonemic Awareness, and therefore have to rely on memory have difficulty beginning to read & continue to have difficulty with new words.
BUT, SURELY SCHOOL WILL TEACH MY CHILD TO READ? SO, WHY DO I NEED TO BOTHER?
If this is what you are thinking, then you should know that you cannot rely on schools, including those in Garfield …
In the USA, almost 70% of children at school who are aged 9-10 years old cannot read proficiently (*Ref)!
And, of those children, 33% of them read at only a very basic level, and 34% are reading at a very low level (*Ref).
It's not very different in the UK, where over 100,000 children leave school illiterate(*Ref).
Or in Australia, where 33% of students aged 11 years old fail to meet literacy benchmarks (*Ref).
Or in Canada, where 42% of the entire adult population is only semi-illiterate (*Ref).
NO, YOU CANNOT RELY ON SCHOOLS.
But, why not?
Teachers don't always appreciate the basic units of language and reading
Teachers frequently don't know how to teach English language concepts
There just aren't enough qualified teachers
Classes are too over-crowded
Kids don't get enough 1-on-1 attention from teachers in the classroom
Schools aren't using the correct teaching systems – i.e they rely on rote learning or sight words
Schools are overwhelmed and have tried to shift some of the burden of teaching onto apps and computers
UNFORTUNATELY, IT IS A FACT THAT:
Being illiterate is a guaranteed ticket to a dead end.
YOU NEED TO TAKE CHARGE OF YOUR CHILD'S EDUCATION – TODAY!
You can begin by teaching English to your son or daughter.
By Teaching your son or daughter to read your child will develop early reading skills that will help put them years ahead of other children in Utah. So, if you've decided that you want to become a proud parent of a happy & smart child, then you owe it to your child to teach them to read and improve their English.

Will My Child Learn Phonics?
Yes! We teach synthetic & analytical phonics which includes 44 basic phonemes, 22 beginning blends and 15 ending blends.Our students learn and practise phonics throughout our Foundation, Elementary, Intermediate and Upper Intermediate stages. Our Advanced stage uses phonics to teach pronunciation.
We pay particular attention to blended consonant sounds (that are located at the beginning and end of many words). We teach vowels first and then consonants. As soon as possible we teach children to read. In practice this means after students have learnt 5 vowel sounds and 2 consonants they can read a few words by themselves. Children are also taught how to decode words, so from the very beginning they can see new simple words and know how to read them.
Garfield is an American comic strip created by Jim Davis. Originally published locally as Jon in 1976, then in nationwide syndication from 1978 as Garfield, it archives the energy of the title character, Garfield the cat; Jon Arbuckle, his human owner; and Odie, the dog. As of 2013, it was syndicated in all but 2,580 newspapers and journals, and held the Guinness World Record for bodily the world's most widely syndicated comic strip.
Though this is rarely mentioned in print, Garfield is set in Jim Davis' hometown of Muncie, Indiana, according to the television special Happy Birthday, Garfield. Common themes in the strip include Garfield's laziness, obsessive eating, love of coffee and lasagne, disdain of Mondays, and diets. Garfield is with shown to manipulate people to get whatever he wants. The strip's focus is mostly on the interactions in the midst of Garfield, Jon, and Odie, but supplementary recurring young characters appearing as well. Originally created later the intentions to "come in the works with a good, marketable character", Garfield has spawned merchandise earning $750 million to $1 billion annually. In accessory to the various merchandise and public notice tie-ins, the strip has spawned several vivacious television specials, two busy television series, two theatrical feature-length live-action/CGI buzzing films, and three adequately CGI living direct-to-video films.
Part of the strip's broad pop cultural charisma is due to its dearth of social or embassy commentary; though this was Davis's indigenous intention, he plus admitted that his "grasp of politics isn't strong", joking that, for many years, he thought "OPEC was a denture adhesive".
On August 6, 2019, New York City-based ViacomCBS announced that it would acquire Paws, Inc., including the rights to the Garfield franchise (the comics, merchandise and animated cartoons). Jim Davis will continue to make comics, and a other Garfield animate series is in production for ViacomCBS subsidiary Nickelodeon.
