Literacy Intervention for NY–NJ–CT Families
Fluent Readers Are Made, Not Born.
Why Tri-State Families Choose Kids Up
Families across New York, New Jersey and Connecticut have no shortage of tutoring options. What they often lack is a program with a clear endpoint. From the Upper West Side to Westchester to Greenwich, parents choose Kids Up Reading Tutors because the instruction is evidence-based, online tutoring is easier to fit into a busy schedule than in-person and most students graduate in under a year.
-
If your child needs support in phonological skills, phonics, decoding, fluency, morphology or spelling and you want a targeted intervention grounded in the Science of Reading
-
If your student is holding their own academically but reading or spelling still takes more effort than it should
No homework.
Most students graduate from Kids Up's program in 4-9 months (with 3+ sessions per week).

The Best Orton-Gillingham Based Tutoring, Built for Zoom
No subway at rush hour. No driving to Midtown. No coordinating pickup and dropoff around a tutoring center's schedule. Kids Up delivers expert Orton-Gillingham and Structured Literacy instruction over Zoom, with scheduling flexible enough to fit around school, sports, activities and everything else a Tri-State family has going on.
Every student is matched with a dedicated literacy specialist based on their skill profile, grade level and personality. From there:
-
A Precise Plan: After the literacy evaluation, we know exactly which phonics patterns, spelling rules and fluency skills your child still needs. Every session targets those gaps directly.
-
High-Dosage Sessions: 1-on-1, two to five times per week, because frequency makes the timeline work
-
Lessons That Engage: Multisensory activities, phonological word games and decodable books matched to your child's age and reading level
-
Results That Show Up in School: Reading gets easier. Spelling becomes more automatic. Confidence in the classroom follows. Most families notice progress within the first few weeks.
Our Zoom Guarantee: Try it for a week. Love it, or it's on us!
