" I just want to put in a HUGE POSITIVE plug for Kids Up Reading Tutors. Daniela was AMAZING with our child who had a new dyslexia diagnosis this year (in 6th grade)... Our child is reading better, spelling better, and has just SO MUCH MORE confidence. "

Thank you so much! I just want to let you know that Mara's really enjoying tutoring with you which is great because we have done other tutoring and she would cry and cry and cry because she hated it. I'm very happy she's enjoying learning with with you!"

Why It Works
Our 1-on-1 tutoring uses Structured Literacy, Orton-Gillingham and the Kilpatrick phonological training program to help students build decoding, fluency and confidence. Everything we do is rooted in the Science of Reading and adapted to your child's needs.

"Thanks, Crystal, once more for all your help and support.
We really notice Vincent's progress and changes, and so does he. He is so much happier and confident with himself. He is reading alone, sharing with us, and I'm sure he is doing something similar at school.
We are relieved and sure that we have found our way with you by our side. The whole program and the way it's been taught are helping Vincent on his reading skills and much more"

FAQ
Q1: What does dyslexia tutoring look like with Kids Up Reading Tutors?
A1: 1-on-1 instruction based on Structured Literacy, with Orton-Gillingham plus Kilpatrick phonological training to build decoding, fluency, spelling, and confidence.
Q2: How many sessions per week do you recommend for quick progress?
A2: Most families choose 3–5 sessions per week to help their student get caught up to grade level as quickly as possible.
Q3: Will sessions work for students who also have ADHD or no formal diagnosis?
A3: Yes. Many of our students have been diagnosed with dyslexia and dysgraphia or specific learning disabilities in reading & writing, but we also work with a lot of students without a diagnosis who just missed out on good reading instruction, e.g. as a result of COVID. Many of our students also have ADHD. We customize the instruction for each of our students.
Q4: How do parents track progress?
A4: You can look at your child's Progress Chart any time to see what skills they've learned. In addition, you’ll receive weekly updates from your tutor.
