Schedule an introductory call with your student’s new master reading teacher, Will Rogers, MA.

Are you worried about your student failing the state reading exam and having to repeat the third grade?

If so, you’re not alone because 160,000 other Tennessee parents have a 3rd grader who struggles with reading.

Many parents don’t know that attending RTI means their child struggles to read and has difficulty understanding what they read.

We don’t want them to feel wrong about going to RTI but if it’s possible we also want them to learn what it takes to get out of it.

RTI is mandatory for kids with low reading fluency.

They often read too slowly and struggle to understand what they read. They are stuck in a vicious cycle.

Can you imagine how hard it would be to pass reading: If, by the time you get to the end of the sentence, you forgot what you read at the beginning?

If your 3rd-grader is in RTI, then that’s probably what they experience every day. Imagine how hard it is for them to not give up and quit.

Something needs to change about the way they are taught. And some things might have to change at home too.

Let’s work together To Help Your Child to Become a confident On-Grade Reader.

On a 30 minute call, you and I will discuss what is happening in your child’s life.

I will produce an individualized plan to help your child become a confident on-grade reader, pass the state exam, get promoted to 4th grade, and get out of RTI.

While standardized tests can be a valuable tool for assessing student learning, they can also be a source of stress for students.

"40% of Tennessee third-grade readers are ready for fourth grade."

Less than one of every two Tennessee 3rd graders has demonstrated readiness for fourth-grade-level reading skills. As a result, they struggle to read and understand. The state calls on parents and educators to work together to ensure that all Tennessee students are proficient in reading by the end of third grade.

"One twin faces third-grade retention in Morristown, another doesn't after TCAP exam."

The boy who passed the exam was able to attend a magnet school, while the boy who did not pass the exam was placed in a regular school. The article argues that the TCAP exam is unfair to students who are not able to perform well on standardized tests, and that it can have a negative impact on their educational opportunities.

"Third-grade reading scores: Tennessee reports 60% fall short on TCAP test."

Of all 82,000 Tennessee 3rd-grade students only 40,000 still failed to score proficiently.

These students must repeat third grade unless they pass a summer reading test.

"Parents turning away from public school as TCAP scores trickle in."

“I don’t feel smart just because of a test”: 8-year-old writes to lawmakers in response to 3rd grade retention law.

However, because of a new state law meant to keep students reading at grade level, a third-grader’s results on the test decides whether they’ll automatically go on to the next grade.

3rd-grader walks mile away from school alone, blames stress and TCAP exam

A 3rd grader walked a mile away from school alone after she became stressed out by the TCAP exam. The girl, who has not been identified, was found by a passerby who called 911. She was taken back to school and her parents were notified.

The girl’s mother said that her daughter had been feeling stressed about the TCAP exam for weeks. She said that her daughter had been having trouble sleeping and was having nightmares about the test.

Any 2nd and 3rd-grade student can succeed despite overcrowded classrooms, inexperienced teachers, and attention deficits.

What parents are saying about your student's new Master Reading Teacher?

"I can see the improved confidence"

We really appreciate all that you have done for RJ. He is doing so much better. The greatest area that I can see improvement is in his confidence. He is taking better notes. Teachers say his participation is up, and what I like most is that he’s not afraid to ask for help. Moving to high school was a big worry for me. Mr. Rogers did NOT let him give up, even letting him know that his ‘learned helplessness’ would not be tolerated. He really needed that. I highly recommend this to anyone who is looking to help their child get and stay on track. Shoot, I just signed up my other child!

-Mr. Parks

"Small Investment; HUGE Returns!"

Bryce has always been a pretty good student. We decided to choose ProdigyScholars because one, I went to college with the owner and felt confident of his skills , and two we wanted to give Bryce an edge. Man did we get more than we bargained for. Bryce’s first year at Alabama A&M has been phenomenal. So much so, that he has earned a scholarship worth over $8000! Talk about small seeds yielding big fruit! I highly recommend students getting the instruction and practice they offer at Prodigy! Money well spent!

-S. Webster

"Small Group Success"

Can’t say enough about the teachers at ProdigyScholars. We got a late start with ACT testing (his senior year, I know…). So we were really looking for a way to get a lot of bang for our buck. After only a few short sessions, Kev’s reading score went up 7 POINTS! His language score went up 4 points! He learned more than just test taking skills. He gained some much needed confidence that translated into the classroom. He is now at his first year at Bethel University and we couldn’t be more pleased with how he is doing. I would confidently recommend anyone giving ProdigyScholars a try, especially for raising those reading and language ACT scores!

-N. Rorie

"Can’t beat the personal touch"

Bailey is doing remote learning this year, and needless to say, it’s been a struggle. She doesn’t ask questions or for help and this is reflected in her grades. Working with Mr. Rogers is helping her build confidence. Because we are doing live zoom, he can see when she is confused or not fully zoned in. His years of teaching experience really comes through in he way he breaks things down. Now, if we can only get those sessions to translate into better grades…

-S. Webster

"significant improvement in both of my kids"

I highly recommend William Rogers at ProdigyScholars. William not only has the professionalism but the PASSION for what he does is second to none. I have worked with William for the last three years and I am seeing a significant improvement in both of my kids. My son currently has 100% in English. I have used other tutors in the past, but nothing compares to ProdigyScholars. Its far more than helping and checking homework. William is getting the students prepared for the world. Once the students grasp the foundation, they are able to accomplish SO MUCH MORE!
