For the student who reads the words but misses the meaning, or freezes when it's time to write.
Reading the words is only half of it. We work on understanding what they read.
Does this sound like your child?
- Reads out loud just fine, then can't tell you what happened.
- Avoids books, picks easy ones, or shuts down at a big block of text.
- Says "I don't know" to every question about what they read.
- Rushes through a page to be done, and the meaning gets lost.
- Writing is short and plain, spelling won't stick, and essays feel impossible.
Who we work with every day
Students who decode well but can't explain what they read. Students who still mix up b and d, or whose spelling won't stick. Students with dyslexia, and students who have simply decided they hate reading. Since 1989, this is what we do all day.
How it starts
-
Step 1: Book a free call
Tell us what's going on at home and at school, and what you've already tried. In about 20 minutes, we'll learn as much as we can about your child and tell you honestly if we're a fit.
-
Step 2: Visit the academy
Your child has a first session with one of our teachers. Then we sit down with you, share what we saw, and recommend the plan that fits your child best.
-
Step 3: See it working
Your child gets started with clear goals made for them, and we keep you updated along the way.
What parents have seen
Our daughter was struggling with reading and math. After the first 3 weeks we noticed a huge improvement in her ability to read and comprehend.
Oh my!! Catelyn and I just finished her 20 minutes of reading. I am so happily surprised!! Her speed has picked up and her willingness. Thank you for your amazing work with her. Love it! She is so proud and loves you so much, Mrs. Armenta!
