"Thank you for the update, and for all your continuing work with [our daughter]. I was sitting in the next room while [she] had her lesson yesterday (and earlier this week), and her reading is so much improved. She seems to be flying through Diary of a Pug, not getting tripped up on too many words, handling some tricky words well, understanding the story as she reads, and clearly enjoying it with her dramatic renditions."

A Targeted Curriculum: Orton-Gillingham and the Science of Reading
Seattle schools are not built for every reader. Kids can be bright, curious, motivated and still hit a wall with phonics or spelling that classroom instruction never quite resolves.

-
Dedicated specialists in Structured Literacy matched with your student based on their needs, personality and schedule
-
Fast Progress: Highly-trained tutors; 1-on-1; 2-5 sessions/week
-
Engaging Lessons: Multisensory activities, phonological "word games" and decodable books
-
Thrilling Results: Confidence increases, school becomes easier and your child starts to experience the joy of reading!
Our Zoom Guarantee: Try it for a week. Love it, or it's on us!

We Work With Seattle Families
We know this city.
No one is driving from Woodinville to a specialist’s office twice a week. Kids Up is fully online which means the quality of your tutor doesn’t depend on your zip code, and the session happens without anyone sitting through a Ballard Bridge opening wondering if they made a terrible decision.
Our students are homeschooled or attend Adams, Ballard, Bear Creek, The Bush School, Eastside, Giddens, Hamilton International, Inglemoor, Lakeside, Madrona, The Northwest School, Peter Kirk and other Seattle schools
