We offer two options to meet the needs of different families.

Private Literacy Intervention

• $55 per one-hour session when families enroll in a 24 session intervention block

• $65 per one-hour session for flexible week-to-week enrollment

Our 12-week option provides the best value and supports the consistency that is so important for literacy progress, while our flexible option is available for families who need greater scheduling flexibility.

Small Group Programs Our early literacy programs are offered as six-week sessions at a fixed program fee. Pricing is listed on each program page and includes all materials.

We believe in clear, transparent pricing with no hidden fees, so families know exactly what to expect before they register.

Our individual intervention uses the Barton Reading & Spelling System, an Orton-Gillingham based program grounded in the science of reading. It provides systematic, explicit instruction that has helped children become successful readers for decades.

We work with children who are learning to read, children who are struggling with reading or spelling, and children who may benefit from extra literacy support. We also offer early literacy programs for preschool and kindergarten aged children.

Our services include:

• One-to-one structured literacy intervention

• Read, Play, Grow (early literacy program)

• Ready, Set, Read (school readiness program)

• JK/SK Literacy Boost

• Literacy screenings and recommendations

Structured literacy intervention is a systematic, evidence-based approach that teaches reading and spelling skills in a carefully planned sequence. Rather than simply helping with homework, we teach the underlying, foundational skills children need to become confident, independent readers.

Yes. The Barton Reading & Spelling System was specifically designed for individuals with dyslexia and is also effective for many children who struggle with reading and spelling for other reasons.

No. A formal diagnosis is not required to receive services. Many children benefit from structured literacy intervention whether or not they have been diagnosed with dyslexia or another learning difference.

Some common signs include:

• Difficulty learning letter sounds

• Trouble blending sounds into words

• Guessing at words instead of sounding them out

• Poor spelling

• Avoiding reading

• Slow or frustrating progress at school

If you’re unsure, we’re happy to discuss your concerns during a consultation.

Every child is different. Progress depends on factors such as age, current reading skills, attendance, and practice between sessions. Our goal is steady, lasting progress rather than quick fixes.

We’ll learn about your child’s strengths, challenges, school history, and your goals. We’ll answer your questions and help determine whether our services are a good fit for your family.

Parents are welcome to observe or discuss their child’s progress. We believe families are an important part of the learning process and provide regular updates and guidance.

Children may receive short practice activities to reinforce what they’ve learned. These activities are designed to be manageable and supportive rather than overwhelming.
