Explicit
Nothing is left for your child to guess. Every rule and pattern is taught out loud, directly.
Our approach
Struggling readers don’t need more of the same. They need a different kind of teaching.
Most children learn to read almost by absorption. Children with dyslexia do not. It is not that they are less capable or less willing. Their brains need reading taught directly, in a specific order. When that teaching is missing, more worksheets only deepen the frustration. That is the gap we fill.
The method
What structured literacy actually is
It teaches the building blocks of reading and spelling in a logical sequence: sounds, letter patterns, syllables, and word structure, one clear step at a time. Three things make it work.
Multi-sensory
Children see it, say it, hear it, and write it, so the learning holds through more than one pathway.
Cumulative
New skills rest only on skills already mastered, so the foundation is never left shaky.
It is the approach the research consistently supports for children with dyslexia, and it works for any child who has fallen behind in reading.
The program
The Barton Reading & Spelling System
We teach using the Barton Reading & Spelling System, an Orton-Gillingham based structured literacy program designed specifically for students with dyslexia. It’s one-on-one by design, moves at your child’s pace, and never advances until a skill is genuinely solid.
Our tutors are trained in the Barton Reading & Spelling System, and every student works one-on-one with an experienced instructor who adjusts to exactly how they learn.
Why one-on-one
Reading struggles are personal.
In a one-on-one session there is no pace to keep up with and nowhere for a child to quietly fall behind. The tutor sees exactly where things break down and adjusts in the moment, the way a crowded classroom never can.
Math-U-See
Math that makes sense before it moves on.
Hands-on, visual, and mastery-based, so the foundations are rebuilt one solid step at a time, the same way we teach reading.
Math, too
Many kids struggle with math for the same reason.
They were moved past the foundations too quickly. Math-U-See rebuilds those foundations with hands-on, visual, mastery-based lessons, so math makes sense before it advances, instead of piling confusion on confusion.
How it works
Five steps, start to progress
Free consultation
We talk about what you are seeing and what your child needs. No cost and no pressure.
Assessment
A WIST assessment shows us exactly where your child stands and where the gaps are.
A plan built for your child
You get a clear starting point and an honest picture of what progress will look like.
One-on-one sessions
Consistent, structured lessons that build real skill, week after week.
Progress you can see
We track growth and keep you informed, so you always know it is working.
Every student takes the WIST (Word Identification and Spelling Test) when they start and again as they grow, so progress is something you can see, not just feel.
See it on paper
The same student, two years apart.
Their Fundamental Literacy Ability Index rose from 86 (below average) to 109 (average), and Sound-Symbol Knowledge climbed from 70 (poor) to 121 (superior).
