The Sylvan Team Here’s what some families have shared about Sylvan workbooks: “Using Sylvan workbooks helps my child keep an interest in school subjects while not in school It helps keep his focus on the importance of learning even when outside his school environment And it also helps me during those interminable ‘I’m bored’ days!” – B.B Lawson “My daughter has improved her academic skills and confidence while completing Sylvan workbooks She also was excited to complete the Sylvan workbook pages, because they are engaging but challenging at the same time She is looking forward to completing more pages throughout the summer to keep her skills up Thank you, Sylvan, for this!” – K Haynes “[They] often include games and puzzles that are creative and educational, which helped my son, who doesn’t like to study, brush up on skills, and even learn past his grade level! Sylvan is now part of my son’s daily routine and eases up pressure and dependence on parents too.” – F Mohamed Connect with your local Sylvan Learning Center and make an even bigger impact this summer!
