Our individualized Orton-Gillingham tutoring provides intensive, evidence-based reading instruction tailored specifically to your child's learning profile. Each session follows the structured, systematic, sequential, and multisensory approach of Orton-Gillingham methodology, which is considered the gold standard for dyslexia intervention. Sessions are 55 minutes long and recommended 2-3 times per week for optimal progress.

Every lesson is carefully planned based on continuous assessment and includes explicit instruction in phonological awareness, phonics patterns, spelling rules, and reading fluency.

Whether your student already has a dyslexia diagnosis or is struggling to read and write on grade level, this service is ideal for any student who needs intensive, specialized instruction that goes beyond what's available in traditional classroom settings.

Note: The comprehensive reading assessment is required of all students before tutoring may begin.

Our homeschool reading support is specifically designed for families who have chosen to educate their children at home and need expert guidance in reading instruction. Available during traditional school hours (1:00-3:00 PM Monday-Friday), this service recognizes that homeschool families often require specialized support that fits their unique schedule and educational philosophy.

Sessions can be individual or small group and focus on implementing structured literacy curricula within your homeschool program. We work collaboratively with parents to select appropriate reading materials, provide systematic phonics instruction, develop fluency through guided reading practices, and support comprehension development through literature discussions and strategic instruction.

We provide detailed lesson plans, progress tracking, and regular communication with parents about student advancement. Additionally, we can help adapt materials for students with learning differences and provide parent coaching on effective reading instruction techniques. This support is invaluable for homeschool parents who want to ensure their child receives expert reading instruction while maintaining the flexibility and personalization that homeschooling offers. Documentation of progress is provided for portfolio requirements and can support transitions back to traditional school settings if needed.

Our small group classes offer high-quality reading instruction in an intimate setting of 2-3 students with similar learning needs and reading levels. This format combines the benefits of individualized attention with the social and motivational advantages of peer learning, making it an excellent cost-effective option for families seeking specialized reading support.

Groups are carefully formed based on students' reading levels, specific skill needs, and learning styles to ensure optimal instructional matching. Each 55-minute session follows structured literacy principles with explicit, systematic instruction in phonological awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension.

This format is particularly popular with homeschool co-ops, families with multiple children needing support, or parents who want their children to experience structured group learning.

Groups meet consistently with the same students to build rapport and continuity. Parents receive regular progress updates for their individual child, and communication is maintained about how to support learning at home.

Our comprehensive reading assessment is a thorough diagnostic evaluation designed to identify the root causes of reading difficulties and create a roadmap for intervention. Evidence-based assessment tools are used to examine all components of reading including phonological awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and reading comprehension. The assessment process typically takes 2-2.5 hours and may be completed over multiple sessions to ensure accurate results without student fatigue.

The evaluation includes formal assessments such as phonological processing measures, decoding assessments, sight word recognition, oral reading fluency passages, and comprehension tasks. We also gather detailed background information about your child's educational history, previous interventions, and family concerns. Following the assessment, you'll receive a comprehensive written report detailing your child's strengths and areas of need, specific recommendations for intervention approaches, accommodations that may be helpful in school, and a prioritized list of skills to target in tutoring. A follow-up consultation meeting is included to review findings, answer questions, and develop an action plan.

Our parent consultation and training sessions empower families with the knowledge and tools necessary to effectively support their child's reading development at home. These sessions are designed for parents who want to become active partners in their child's reading intervention and need guidance on evidence-based support strategies.

Consultations begin with a thorough discussion of your child's specific reading profile, including strengths and challenges.. We provide detailed explanations of reading development stages, common characteristics of dyslexia and other reading difficulties, and how these challenges may manifest in daily life. Parents learn to recognize signs of reading struggle versus typical development and understand when to seek additional support.

Training includes practical strategies for homework support without creating conflict, techniques for making reading practice enjoyable and effective, methods for building phonological awareness through games and activities, and strategies for selecting appropriate books for home reading. Parents learn how to reinforce skills being taught in tutoring sessions and how to advocate effectively for their child's needs in school settings.

Sessions can be scheduled as one-time consultations, ongoing coaching relationships, or intensive training workshops. Topics can be customized based on family needs and may include understanding IEPs and 504 plans, selecting educational apps and resources, or creating supportive homework routines. All recommendations are research-based and aligned with structured literacy principles. Parents leave sessions with written resources, recommended materials, and clear action steps for implementation.

Our summer reading intensives are designed to prevent the significant reading regression that often occurs during extended school breaks while simultaneously accelerating reading progress through concentrated instruction. According to a comprehensive analysis by the nonprofit NWEA, students lose an average of 20% of their school-year gains in reading over summer break, making intensive summer programming crucial for maintaining and advancing skills.

Programs are available in multiple formats to meet diverse family needs and schedules. Intensive tutoring options provide daily or near-daily individual sessions over 2-4 week periods, allowing for rapid skill development and confidence building. Reading camp formats combine structured literacy instruction with engaging activities, games, and projects that make learning enjoyable while maintaining academic rigor.

Each intensive program begins with assessment to identify current skill levels and priority areas for growth. Instruction follows Orton-Gillingham principles with systematic progression through phonics patterns, sight word development, fluency building, and comprehension strategies. Daily lessons include multisensory activities, structured reading practice, creative writing opportunities, and progress monitoring.

Programs can be themed around student interests (such as science, history, or literature topics) to increase engagement while targeting reading skills. Small group intensives allow students to work alongside peers with similar goals, creating a supportive learning community. Individual intensives provide maximum customization for students with significant challenges or specific learning goals.

All programs include take-home materials for continued practice, detailed progress reports, and recommendations for maintaining gains throughout the remainder of summer and into the new school year. Parents receive guidance on selecting appropriate books and activities to continue supporting reading development after the intensive concludes.
