It helped a little, but not enough.
School says they'll catch up. You're not so sure.
Now we need the right program.
Research is clear: students with learning differences do not respond to traditional instruction. They need explicit, systematic, multisensory methods that engage visual, auditory, and kinesthetic pathways simultaneously. This is not opinion. It is decades of peer-reviewed science.
Our reading programs are rooted in Orton-Gillingham methodology and the Science of Reading. Our writing instruction uses structured, sequential frameworks that teach students how to organize and express their ideas. Our math programs use hands-on, mastery-based methods that build genuine number sense from the ground up. Every program creates multiple neural connections that make learning stick. Students master each concept before moving forward. No gaps. No guessing.
This is why children who have struggled for years start making measurable progress here. The method is the difference.
Evidence-based structured literacy, writing, and multisensory math programs designed specifically for students with dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, executive functioning difficulties, and ADHD.
Our reading programs use structured, sequential, multisensory instruction rooted in Orton-Gillingham methodology. Each program is matched to your child based on their assessment results, not their grade level.
The gold standard in structured literacy. Wilson directly and systematically teaches the structure of the English language, building word structure, fluency, vocabulary and comprehension, and self-monitoring skills. Students move through 12 structured steps, mastering each before advancing. For 2nd grade through adulthood.
Learn MoreOrton-Gillingham influenced multisensory, explicit, sequential instruction that systematically builds reading, spelling, vocabulary, comprehension, and fluency. Structured in 10 levels with a clear, predictable progression.
Learn MoreBuilds the auditory discrimination, memory, and sequencing skills essential to reading. Students who need this foundational layer complete FIS before advancing to Wilson or Barton.
Learn MoreHighly explicit multisensory decoding and spelling for students in grades 4 through 12 with mild to moderate gaps. Ideal when intensive WRS-level intervention is not required.
Learn MoreThe Six Minute Solution for targeted fluency building, and Wordly Wise for systematic vocabulary acquisition and comprehension growth.
Six Minute SolutionMany students with dyslexia also struggle with written expression. Our writing programs use structured, sequential instruction that teaches students how to organize their thoughts and get them onto paper with clarity and confidence.
Sequential, systematic writing instruction from fully accredited IEW instructors. Students learn to organize ideas, build strong sentences, and write persuasively across all subjects. Effective even for the most reluctant writers.
Learn MoreStep-by-step paragraph instruction that teaches students how to plan, draft, and organize their writing. Gives students a concrete, visual process for building paragraphs before moving into longer compositions.
Learn MoreEvan-Moor Grammar and Punctuation for editing and mechanics, paired with explicit print and cursive handwriting instruction.
Evan-MoorTraditional math instruction relies on memorization and abstract symbols. For students with dyscalculia, ADHD, or executive functioning challenges, that approach does not work. Our math programs build genuine number sense through hands-on, multisensory methods.
A multisensory, mastery-based structured methodology that builds deep mathematical understanding through hands-on application. MMR directly supports executive function and working memory, taking students through a concrete-to-representational-to-abstract progression.
Download MMR OverviewA multisensory, mastery-based curriculum presenting math in a logical, building-block sequence using real-world scenarios. Students achieve true conceptual understanding before moving forward.
Learn MoreOur instructors use multisensory techniques to rebuild number sense from the ground up, addressing dyscalculia, executive function challenges, and math anxiety.
Our ServicesEvery teacher holds explicit coursework in their subject area and receives ongoing mentorship in structured literacy, the Science of Reading, the Science of Writing, and multisensory instruction.
Call, email, or fill out our form. Tell us what you are noticing. We listen, assess fit, and check availability.
On the first session, your child is assessed to determine their skill level. This data serves as a baseline to document progress.
We match your child to the right program and the right instructor. Sessions are 50 minutes, twice per week minimum.
Progress is tracked via Gradelink with a report card in June. We build skills your child keeps for life.
"My daughter has improved so much this first year at Read Learning Center. She enjoy's reading now and reads on her own accord. She's happier at home and her self-esteem visibility higher. Thank you"
"Our daughter participated in the after school tutoring for two years. I greatly appreciated the curriculum design with the emphasis on phonics. My daughter's tutor was exceptionally patient with her, and my daughter made tremendous progress over those two years."
"Read has been great for my son. He started in 3rd and has shown progress not only in his literacy acquisition but also confidence."

It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken adults.
- Frederick DouglassIt's usually higher than general tutoring, and that's because it's not the same thing. You're paying for someone who understands how reading actually develops and how to teach it when it hasn't clicked yet.
What most families run into is this. They try less specialized help first because it's cheaper, but nothing really changes. By the time they move into structured literacy-based tutoring, they've already spent time and money going in circles.
At READ Learning Center, sessions are $75 for 50 minutes. Wilson Reading System sessions are $115 due to the advanced instructor certification required.
It can, but only if the instruction matches how your child learns.
A lot of tutoring focuses on getting through assignments or keeping up with class. That's not the same as teaching a child how to read in a way that sticks. When the approach is right, you'll see progress. When it's not, it feels like you're putting in effort without getting anywhere.
You're looking for someone who can break reading down and rebuild it step by step.
That usually means training in structured literacy approaches and experience working with students who haven't responded to typical classroom instruction. They should be able to walk you through exactly what a session looks like and what they're working toward. Meet our instructors to see how our team is trained.
Regular tutoring helps students manage school.
Dyslexia tutoring changes how they learn to read.
That difference is why some kids can spend years in tutoring and still struggle, and others finally start making progress once the instruction shifts.
Most parents don't start with a label. They start with a feeling that something isn't adding up.
Their child is trying, but reading is slow, spelling is inconsistent, or progress doesn't match the effort. If that's been going on for a while, it's usually worth looking at support that goes deeper than homework help.
Tutoring helps, but without understanding what's actually going on, it can turn into trial and error.
More consistency usually leads to better results.
Most students need multiple sessions per week, especially at the beginning. If it's too spread out, it's harder for new skills to stick and build on each other.
There's no instant fix, but you should see signs that things are moving in the right direction.
For some kids, that shows up as small wins early on. For others, it takes a little longer. What matters is that progress is steady and makes sense, not random or inconsistent.
Effective tutoring is structured, consistent, and based on how students actually learn to read.
It is not about working harder or doing more worksheets. It is about using the right method, building skills step by step, and adjusting instruction based on the student's progress.
It's a way of teaching reading that doesn't skip steps.
Instead of expecting kids to pick things up naturally, it shows them exactly how language works and gives them repeated, supported practice. For students who have struggled, that structure is usually what's been missing. See how we use it in our curriculum.
They do best when instruction is explicit and hands-on.
That means they're not just being told what something says. They're working through it, hearing it, seeing it, and practicing it in a way that sticks. When that clicks, you usually see confidence start to come back with it.
