Selecting appropriate books?

Today's high standard of education requires a great deal of reading and writing. There is no easy way to become a better reader, and no gimmick to improve reading comprehension. It's just a matter of practice. But reading does not have to be boring. SOS has compiled a list of ideal books for students of all ages, ranging from mysteries to old-fashion classics. Each book has been hand-picked by our qualified teachers. Besides, reading is fun. How else can you visit Middle America in your pajamas?

  • All the books are carefully picked for best educating materials.
  • Choose the books that you can get hands on. You will need to get the book by yourself (books are not included in this course).

The variety is seemingly endless

SOS Book Club provides works that are appropriate for each respective age group.
For example, we wouldn't recommend Jane Eyre to a third grader. We respect each student's unique reading and writing style and sense of creativity. Most of us, as adults, have forgotten how to be creative. Creativity, however, is a gift found in all children. Their grammar and spelling might be a little bit off, but they can blow us away with their imagination and voice. We want to foster these talents in each and every student, which is why we offer a library of books that will engage their imaginations.

Each essay topic is the result of collective collaboration

Reading and understanding what is being read are two different things. We provide students with questions and essay topics that have withstood the test and fire of collaboration to ensure that students comprehend what they are reading.
This is an essential and often overlooked step in the reading and writing process. After all, if all we did was give the student a book to read, it would just be called reading ? not an effective way to ensure that the student understands the material. To finalize the learning process, we include essays at the end of each question packet to unleash the student's creativity.

  • Each and every questions and essay topics are made specific to enhance the student's writing ability.

Detailed correction

Our cychers devote a great amount of effort to grading each essay. Furthermore, the process of grading the essay doesn't just end with the student receiving a score. Our cychers leave comments on the essays, just as an English professor would, designating each student's tendencies with appropriate feedback. We believe that a grade is just a grade, but learning something from that A or B is so much more important. In the end, don't we all just want to improve?

  • When you click the submit button after finishing the assignments, our cychers will start evaluating your answers and essay.
  • Detailed correction will be provided to you and only for you to take full advantage of our cychers' comment.
