San Diego families have high expectations for their kids' education, and when reading or spelling isn't clicking, they want answers fast. Phonics and spelling struggles are two of the most common reasons families first reach out to us, often before a bigger reading gap becomes obvious. From Central San Diego to La Jolla to Rancho Santa Fe, parents choose Kids Up Reading Tutors because the program is targeted, time-limited and grounded in the Science of Reading.

  • If your child is struggling with decoding, phonics, fluency, spelling or comprehension and you want a clear plan to get them back on track

  • If your student is already reading well and you want to make sure their spelling and writing skills keep pace

No homework.

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

"Over the summer, I noticed that my daughter (who was going into the 6th grade) was struggling with reading fluently and pronouncing certain words that should come easily to someone her age.  I searched for reading tutors and found [Kids Up Reading Tutors].  Daniela and Caitlin worked with her for over 3 months and they transformed her into a strong, confident reader.  Her spelling has improved and I can see that she truly enjoys reading now.  The team is amazing and I am truly grateful that we found them!"
