Palo Alto Reading Tutoring FAQ
Reading is considered a fundamental skill needed in all academic areas. As such, understanding of reading is a primary concern that should be continued as students progress.

Reading also features prominently on the CAASPP, California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress. If you want your student to have a strong foundation in reading that sets them up for future success in other subjects, then connecting with a reading tutor may be the best option for you.
