What is Syntactic Awareness?
We encourage to reading, and we teach how to read for understanding. Our literacy program helps students mentally organize ideas to develop or enhance reading comprehension.
​
​In many cases, the cornerstone for being able to understand or interpret texts is having sentence-level understanding. Reading with syntax is critical. The linguistic ability of syntax supports children's reading comprehension. The knowledge of syntax equips teachers with adequate knowledge of the language, language structure, coping with language changes, and instructing effectively. Let us help your organization achieve its greatest potential.
Understanding Reading
A student demonstrates comprehension if he or she is able to select and use strategies to understand words and text, be able to make and confirm inferences from what is read, including interpreting diagram, graphs and illustrations and more.
In order to succeed or master the Comprehension Component, the ultimate goal of reading, students must learn how to get the most out of what they read and be able to actively interpret as they read. If a student is unable to accurately interpret as he or she reads how can understanding develop? Can a student accurately respond to standard based questions?

Kind Words from Kind People
Linda, Student
​"I can summarize with key details and in one sentence! Before, I was not sure what information to use for my summaries or summarizing the central idea."
Akiema, TRIO Connections, Seminole State College
"...A great resource for the high school students that we work with in the district, especially those who are trying to get reading/verbal scores up to meet graduation requirements."
Sylvanna, Mother of a Student

The progress she had made was unbelievable-she went from a percentile rank of 15% in August of 2016 to an 84% less than a full school year! I am certain that the tools she has learned from Cynthia will help her excel."
