Online dyslexia support and Orton-Gillingham tutoring for kids
Reading should not feel like a daily battle. Our one-on-one structured literacy lessons teach children exactly how letters, sounds and words work, one clear step at a time, so reading starts to make sense.
Sliding scale for families who qualify. Sessions are online, and no diagnosis is needed to get started.

What is dyslexia?
Dyslexia is a common, lifelong difference in how the brain connects sounds to letters. It is not about intelligence or effort. Many children with dyslexia are bright, curious and creative, and they can become strong readers with the right teaching.
What is structured literacy?
Structured literacy is reading instruction that is explicit, step-by-step and multisensory, and it is the approach the International Dyslexia Association recommends for students with dyslexia. The Orton-Gillingham approach is one well-known form of it. Children see, hear, say and build each new sound or pattern, and practice it until it sticks.
Signs of dyslexia parents often notice
Every child is different. If a few of these sound familiar, it is worth a conversation.

Dyslexia support questions
Does my child need a dyslexia diagnosis?
No. Structured literacy helps many children who find reading hard, with or without a diagnosis.
How long until we see progress?
Every child moves at their own pace. Many families notice more confidence within the first few months, and skills keep building with steady practice.
Is this the same as regular tutoring?
No. General tutoring often helps with homework. Structured literacy rebuilds reading skills from the ground up in a planned order, which is what children with dyslexia usually need.
Can you help with my child's IEP or 504 plan?
Yes. Our family advocacy support can help you prepare questions and ask for reading accommodations at school.
