The program is designed to help develop literacy skills in children from kindergarten to eighth grade of differing abilities.

Literacy Skills We Target

Interventions typically target the building blocks of literacy, including:

  • Accuracy
  • Comprehension
  • Fluency
  • Phonemic Awareness
  • Phonics
  • Spelling
  • Writing

What to Expect

  1. When you contact us, we will ask you a few questions to understand what services may work best for you.
  2. The first one or two sessions will be focused on assessing your child’s skills, to develop a treatment plan.
  3. We will then move into literacy skill development sessions based on the assessment.

One-On-One Sessions

During the one-on-one sessions, our interventionists will work on targeting the skills your reader needs to strengthen, using research-based strategies such as Orton-Gillingham and Lindamood-Bell multi-sensory interventions.

More Intensive Evaluation

During the initial call, if it seems like a more intensive evaluation would be beneficial, we will talk to you about setting up a comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation to determine if there are underlying learning and attention disorders or speech-language development challenges that are affecting your child’s literacy skills.
