Miami families move fast. Schedules are packed, schools are competitive, and when a child falls behind in reading or spelling, parents want a solution that works quickly and fits into real life. From Coral Gables to Pinecrest, families choose Kids Up Reading Tutors because the program is intensive, targeted and built around the Science of Reading.

  • If your child is behind in phonics, decoding, fluency or spelling and you want a structured, individualized plan to close the gap before the next school year

  • If your student is keeping up but reading or spelling still feels harder than it should

No homework.

Most students graduate from Kids Up's program in just 4-9 months, with 3+ sessions/week.

"I recommend them without reservation.  Carlie *LOVES* the lesson.  Her tutor makes it fun and the format (zoom call on an ipad) works amazingly well.  Most importantly, I've seen significant progress in her reading and spelling."

The Best Orton-Gillingham Literacy Intervention for Miami

No sitting in traffic on US-1. No finding parking in Coral Gables. No scrambling across town on the Palmetto at 4pm. Kids Up delivers expert Orton-Gillingham and Structured Literacy instruction over Zoom, on a schedule that actually works for a Miami family.

โ€‹

Every student is matched with a dedicated literacy specialist based on their skill profile, grade level and personality. From there:

  • A Targeted Plan: We identify exactly which phonics patterns, spelling rules and fluency skills your child still needs and teach them in order, systematically and explicitly

  • Frequent Sessions: 1-on-1, two to five times per week, so progress compounds quickly rather than stalling between appointments

  • Lessons That Hold Attention: Multisensory activities, phonological word games and decodable books chosen to match your child's age and interests

  • Visible Results: Fluency builds. Spelling becomes more consistent. Confidence in the classroom follows. Most Miami families notice a meaningful shift within the first few weeks.

Our Zoom Guarantee: Try it for a week. Love it, or it's on us!
