Cracking the Code for Struggling Readers

Dyslexia tutoring will open up the wonder of reading for your child!

We take the struggle out of reading.

Dyslexia is a common learning difference that makes reading and spelling more challenging for one out of four children. It's something you're born with, and often it's passed down through families. If you found schoolwork tricky, your child might, too. But there's a way to help! With one-to-one structured literacy sessions using the Orton-Gillingham approach, we carefully break down the language into smaller, understandable pieces, using sight, sound, and touch. Your child will become a skilled reader and happy learner!

Lexify - Rx for Reading

Independent Daily Practice

Kids like games. When it comes to learning games, they like short ones. No overkill here. Your child will enjoy their 'games' to practice and master the foundational skills from our live sessions.

We monitor this independent practice and adjust your child's games based on their performance so that they experience success while being challenged.

Dyslexia is ...

Dyslexia can make children feel that they are not as smart as others.

... a complex skill to master.

Dyslexia is a neurological condition that affects a person's ability to read and interpret written language. It's characterized by difficulty in recognizing and decoding words, as well as poor spelling and writing skills. It is not caused by a lack of intelligence or motivation, but rather by a difference in the way the brain processes language. 

Dyslexia can be diagnosed by a specialist such as a neuropsychologist, educational psychologist, or speech-language pathologist and can be treated through various methods such as structured literacy therapy, special education programs, explicit tutoring, and assistive technology. 

Unlike speech, children don't just "pick up" the ability to read from the environment, and about 5 kids in every class won't learn to read with standard instruction. 

Research shows that about 80% of children will learn to read with some form of instruction, but the remaining 20% need structured, explicit instruction on the letter-sound correlations of the language.  

It is critical to build a solid foundation for literacy. Grade 3 students who lack proficiency in reading are 4 times more likely to drop out of high school.  In grade 4, children transition from learning to read to the more dominant, reading to learn form of instruction.

When children struggle with reading, they begin to dread going to school. Frequent stomach aches, behavioral issues, and poor self-esteem are often indicators of their struggle.  

Early intervention with a structured literacy approach has dramatic results. Children become skilled readers when given the right tools - and with skilled reading comes increased confidence and academic success!
