Our Method
What Makes Us Unique
Nowhere else will students get the kind of individual attention from teachers as they will at SpiderSmart. Our trained instructors work one-on-one with students to turn their weaknesses into strengths. By fostering mentor relationships with their pupils, not only do teachers help children learn, but they also make education enjoyable. Perhaps more importantly, nothing can compare to the lifelong benefits children gain from reading books, thinking critically, and learning to write effectively. This is the SpiderSmart Way, proven successful since 1988.
Step One: Read
Whether your child likes fantasy books, grand adventures, historical fiction,or biographies, SpiderSmart has plenty of choices. There are more than 1,500 titles to choose from, divided by grade level. Students may pick the books they are most interested in, or teachers may guide the selections
Step Two: Write
Every book has a corresponding, easy-to-use online writing assignment with three sections: vocabulary building, comprehension questions, and an essay based on the book's themes. Your child will develop a command of planning, organization, vocabulary, critical thinking, explanation, persuasion, narrative expression, and more by learning to regularly compose compelling essays.
Step Three: Revise
A teacher will check your child's work, giving comments about every answer. Rules of grammar, usage, style, and the quality of the content will be explained according to your child's needs. Based on what the teacher identifies as problem areas, your child will learn by correcting his or her own mistakes. The teacher will then review the revision to ensure that the writing shows improvement.
