“If a child can’t learn the way we teach, maybe we should teach the way they learn.”
— Ignacio Nacho Estrada
At READ Learning Center, we understand that children are unique and may not learn in traditional ways. Our program was developed to meet the unique needs of each and every student. We empower students to ask insightful questions, to confront conventional ways of thinking, and to know that we care!
“Never discourage anyone … who continually makes progress, no matter how slow.”
— Plato
We meet students where they are at, no matter where that is.

From Our Clients
My son started at READ in January 2021. Opening Day! For the first time in his academic experience (he’s 11), he has a lot to tell me about how he’s learning and what he’s learning. He’s really thriving. He’s eager to go to school, engaged with what and how he’s learning and overall a happier child. The school is following COVID protocols so well. I feel like they are all very careful.

When I pick my daughter up on her first and I asked how did it go? Her response was, "it was so good mom they teach math and I understand it, it made senses." I asked would you want to go back? Her response, "Yes, I am never going back to that other school. Mom I did day dream once I wanted to learn."

READ Academy has changed my son's life. He told me he's learned more about reading in the past two months at Read Academy than he learned in all 7 years at our public school.
Wendy Melemed
As a mother of a child with dyslexia my son has thrived using the Wilson Reading System and the Making Math Real program provided at READ Academy. Small class sizes allow him to receive individual instruction when needed. My son is truly excited to go to school everyday. The teachers provide a warm and supportive environment. I never have to worry that his learning differences will be misunderstood or ridiculed. READ Academy is a much needed addition to the Sacramento community.

Very happy with the curriculum and dyslexic trained teachers. With qualified teachers in all subjects each student has personalized plans with the goal of mainstreaming back to non dyslexic based school. HIGHLY recommend!!!
Courtney Hooglander
Brand new private school for dyslexics with a robust curriculum and teachers that really care. The small class sizes are critical for reading instruction and they carry that over to all the classes.
Lisa Loschiavo
The teachers are nice and my son loves the school.
