Who We Help
If your child is struggling, there’s a reason. We help families find it β and fix it.
π
Below-Level Readers
Children who can read but don't read as well as classmates. Some make lots of mistakes, some read slowly with great effort. We help both.
β οΈ
At-Risk Students
Students identified at risk by their teacher. Don't wait for retention or Special Ed recommendations β early help prevents falling further behind.
π
Poor Grades
If grades are poor, there's a reason. Often it's undiagnosed reading difficulty affecting every subject. We find the root cause and change the equation.
πΆ
Early Learners Falling Behind
K-1 students who aren't catching on to reading β especially those who can't remember letter sounds or guess/memorize instead of sounding out.
π΄
"Lazy" or "Unmotivated" Kids
If a child works hard and still can't succeed, they give up. They're not lazy β they need instruction that matches how they learn. Success motivates.
π°
Anxious Students
Frequent headaches, stomach aches, not wanting to go to school β anxiety about school is a common symptom of reading difficulty, not a character flaw.
π§
Learning Differences
Children who process information differently need instruction that teaches differently. Orton-Gillingham programs are rarely offered in schools with sufficient intensity.
π
Special Education Students
Students in Special Ed often haven't had access to the specialized instruction they need. We provide Orton-Gillingham instruction with enough intensity to actually catch up.
Important:Β Students need at least 100 minutes of one-on-one tutoring per week for the instruction to be intense enough to stick. Group instruction dilutes effectiveness β a group of 2 needs ~4 hours/week, a group of 3 needs ~6 hours/week to match the same intensity.
