MINDsprinting
Fact Sheet
What we do:
MINDsprinting
is a specially designed K-12 tutoring program that: assigns lessons
(based upon a student’s starting skills and subsequent achievements) and conveniently
delivers them over the Internet. It’s perfect for
enrichment and remedial purposes – for children and adults. And MINDsprinting
only costs $15-$20 per subject per month for unlimited access (vs. $85-$110 per
subject or $500 per month charged by tutoring centers).
Anyone with Internet access
and a printer can use our self-paced Math and Reading programs (our core
curriculum has been honed for over 20 years). Our programs are provided in a
“worksheet” format (the same format used by Kumon in its tutoring centers but
parents don’t have to drive anywhere). And our math program teaches
students in the manner recommended by the National Council of Teachers of
Mathematics in 2006.
Students can take a FREE
interactive Assessment Test on our homepage,
www.mindsprinting.com, which analyzes their skill levels and determines
the appropriate starting point in the program (e.g. the Math Test identifies
the highest skills mastered, un-mastered lower skills, and then we create a
specially tailored program for that student based upon the
results). Parents receive an extensive diagnostic Test Results report on
screen immediately upon completion of the Test.
MINDsprinting
is simple to use: you simply log on, enter your password, and click on the next
assigned lesson to print it. Assignments take less than 20-minutes and
there is no limit to the number of lessons a student may do. The lesson is
corrected (using the Answer Key we provide), the results reported by filling in
2 blanks, and we do the rest! Most important, students are continually
assessed to ensure understanding; they do not advance to higher levels until
mastery has occurred.
And, MINDsprinting
has incentives and rewards: great prizes, printable Achievement Awards, and
improved self-esteem (it has been proven to result from this type of
tutoring). Among MINDsprinting’s many other
user-friendly features are detailed Transcripts (which can be easily shared
with teachers) and Fast Tracking, a unique easy-to-use tool that allows users
to move back and forth through our curriculum if they so desire. For as
little as 5-minutes a day, MINDsprinting enables
parents to be involved in their children’s education.
