Reading & Writing Support

Evidence-Based Instruction for Struggling Readers and Students with Dyslexia

Learning to read isn’t about guessing or memorizing words — it’s about understanding how our language works. If your child is struggling with reading, spelling, or writing, they are not alone — and they are not broken. They need instruction that is explicit, systematic, and grounded in the Science of Reading.

That’s exactly what we provide.

What Is the Science of Reading

The Science of Reading is a large body of research from cognitive psychology, neuroscience, and education that explains how the brain learns to read. It shows that most students — especially those with dyslexia — need: Explicit phonics instruction Strong phonemic awareness training Structured, sequential lessons Guided practice with feedback Direct vocabulary and comprehension instruction

Who We Help

We support:

  • Students reading below grade level

  • Children diagnosed with dyslexia

  • Students who struggle with spelling and written expression

  • Reluctant or frustrated readers

  • Older students who were never taught foundational skills

    It is never too late to build strong literacy skills.

Our Instructional Approach

We use structured literacy methods that are :
  •  Explicit
    Skills are directly taught — nothing is left to guesswork.
  • Systematic & Sequential
    Lessons follow a clear scope and sequence, building from simple to complex.
  •  Multisensory
    Students engage visual, auditory, and kinesthetic pathways to strengthen learning.
  • Diagnostic & Responsive
We continually assess progress and adjust instruction to meet each learner’s needs.

What We Work On

Depending on the student’s needs, instruction may include:

  • Phonemic awareness

  • Phonics and decoding

  • Fluency development Spelling and encoding

  • Sentence structure and grammar

  • Paragraph and essay writing

  • Reading comprehension strategies

  • Vocabulary development

Signs Your Child May Need Support

  • Avoids reading

  • Guesses at words instead of sounding them out

  • Struggles to spell even simple words

  • Reads slowly and with effort

  • Has difficulty organizing thoughts in writing

  • Strong verbally but weak in reading

    If this sounds familiar, early intervention can make a life-changing difference.

Why Structured Literacy Works for Dyslexia

Students with dyslexia benefit from highly structured, cumulative instruction that directly teaches:

  • Sound-symbol relationships

  • Syllable types

  • Morphology (prefixes, suffixes, roots)

  • Word structure and patterns

This approach aligns with the recommendations of the International Dyslexia Association for effective intervention.

Our Goal

We don’t just help students “get by.”
We build confident, capable readers and writers.

With the right instruction, struggling readers can thrive — academically and emotionally.
