Duluth, GA - SBT Reading Tutors LLC, an online small-group reading and writing tutoring service, is highlighting its middle school reading tutoring program as more families report their 6th, 7th, and 8th graders struggling to keep pace with reading demands as texts grow longer and academic vocabulary grows denser.

Founded by Jacqueline Thompson, Ed.S., a certified teacher with more than 30 years of classroom experience, SBT Reading Tutors runs live online groups of no more than five students, meeting twice a week for 45-minute sessions over a 12-week program. Every group is led by a certified classroom teacher, not a tutor-in-training.

"Middle school reading gets harder fast, and a lot of parents don't realize how quickly a small gap can widen," said Thompson. "Students who attend every session typically gain about one reading level of growth over the course of the program. Parents don't need to have all the answers. They just need to take the first step and get their child in front of someone who can actually assess what's going on."

The company recently published an in-depth look at why reading comprehension often declines during the middle school years, available in a companion article that walks through the shift from learning to read to reading to learn, and the vocabulary and pacing demands that come with it. A short video overview, available here, covers common signs parents can watch for at home.

SBT Reading Tutors primarily serves parents of struggling readers in grades 5 through 7, with grandparents representing a significant share of families who invest in tutoring support. The program is fully online, removing the added burden of a commute from an already busy family schedule.

Families interested in the middle school program can find session details, scheduling, and enrollment information directly on the SBT Reading Tutors website.
