Literacy Intervention
for NYC Families
Fluent Readers Are Made, Not Born.
Why NYC Families Choose Kids Up
Families across New York City have no shortage of tutoring options. What they often lack is a program with a clear endpoint. From the Upper West Side and the Upper East Side to Park Slope and Brooklyn Heights, 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 4 to 9 months.
-
If your child needs support in reading comprehension, phonological skills, phonics, decoding, fluency, morphology or spelling, and you want a targeted intervention grounded in the Science of Reading
-
If your student (grades 1-12) 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).

Kids Up Reading Tutors has been a game-changer for our daughter. She’s a bilingual 3rd grader with dyslexia and dysorthographia, and after 6 months working with Daniela, the difference is night and day. She reads much more fluently, her writing and spelling have improved noticeably, and her progress has even carried over into her other language.

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 busy family has going on.
Every student is matched with a dedicated literacy specialist based on their needs, personality and schedule. Your student's experience will include:
-
A Precise Plan: We'll start with a literacy evaluation, to determine which phonics patterns, spelling rules and fluency skills your child already knows and which they still need to learn. Every session targets those gaps directly.
-
High-Dosage Sessions: 1-on-1, 3 or more times per week, to progress as quickly as possible
-
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. Homework battles stop. Most families notice progress within the first few weeks.
Our Zoom Guarantee: Try it for a week. Love it, or it's on us!
