Creative Reading – Think Tank Tutors

Creative Reading Program

Spark imagination, build vocabulary, and develop critical comprehension skills
through our innovative reading program.

Program Overview

Our Creative Reading Program goes beyond basic literacy to cultivate a deep love of
reading and develop advanced comprehension skills that benefit students across all
academic subjects.

Why Creative Reading?

Traditional reading instruction often focuses on mechanics and basic comprehension. Our Creative Reading Program takes students further by engaging imagination, developing analytical skills, and fostering a genuine love of literature.

Through carefully selected texts and innovative activities, students develop the ability to read between the lines, connect ideas across different works, and apply reading insights to their own writing and thinking.
