Changing Children’s Lives Through Literacy
Every Child Has the Right To Read Confidently
We provide 1:1 and small group science-based reading instruction with a certified teacher, trained in therapeutic teaching methods.
We use a systematic linguistic approach with explicit reading instruction for accelerated learning. Includes literacy games (learning through play), and “home-play” activities to reinforce lessons.
Optimal personalized reading instruction is developed based on assessments that provide important data for each reading student.
