Why Tucson Families Choose Kids Up

Families across Tucson—from Catalina Foothills to Tanque Verde—choose Kids Up Reading Tutors for evidence-based reading and spelling tutoring.

  • If you're looking for proven, evidence-based instruction to close phonics, fluency, spelling and comprehension gaps

  • If your child is a confident reader and writer, ready for the next challenge

No homework.

Most students graduate from our program in 4-9 months.

"Both [of our kids] have shown a significant improvement in their ability to read. This has been noted by their teachers and has been reflected in their grades. 

 

Both children show significant improvements in their confidence and that has improved their behavior both at school and at home. [They] are both more willing to participate in classroom activities where they would avoid them in the past. In particular, Charlie is an active participant in his ELA class when he was not previously."
