Our Services

​

We provide services to assist families who have children experiencing difficulties in reading, spelling, writing, and language development.

Statistics indicate that 15- 20% of children have difficulty learning to read in school. Many would learn to read proficiently with good first-time, explicit, phonics-based reading instruction. However, many children have difficulties that require special intervention beyond a good regular class reading program. Unfortunately, very few schools are able to provide intensive intervention (provided by well-trained educators) that some children require to develop proficient reading skills.

​

We provide specialized intervention which includes a variety of learning services for students with learning differences, as well as those with language processing difficulties and students with dyslexia. We can help students who are in need of intensive intervention, or those who are looking for a boost in their reading skills. Our services consist of, but are not limited to the following:

​

• Reading Comprehension 

• Vocabulary Intervention

• Orton-Gillingham Approach

• Writing Intervention

• Decoding and Encoding

• Reading Fluency Services
