A Letter From Our Co-Founder

Dear Parent –

If you’ve found your way here, your child may be facing challenges with reading—whether due to dyslexia, decoding difficulties, gaps in phonics and fluency, or other learning differences—or you may simply want to strengthen their reading foundation.

You're right to be focused on reading development, as research shows that students below grade level in reading often face long-term academic struggles, as reading is essential to success in all subjects.

The science of reading offers clear, research-backed solutions: intensive, one-to-one tutoring with a trained tutor and a proven phonics-based curriculum. Studies show that high-dosage tutoring—2-4 sessions per week of intense 1:1 instruction—can significantly improve reading skills, often bringing students up an entire grade level in just 3-4 months. This approach is especially effective for students with dyslexia, decoding challenges, and fluency issues.

At StudyPoint, we base our instruction on the Barton Reading Program, an Orton-Gillingham-based curriculum supported by 15 independent studies and approved by multiple state education departments. The Barton program is systematic and sequential, and it has been proven to help students improve phonemic awareness, decoding, encoding, and reading fluency.  The program uses a multi-sensory approach, including interactive letter tiles through our innovative online format.  We supplement Barton with a range of proven materials to address other areas such as reading comprehension, vocabulary, and fluency

If you’re looking for reading support for your child, we’re here to help. Our approach is tailored to each student’s unique needs, and we start with a free consultation to determine the best plan moving forward.
 

Sincerely,

One-to-One, Private Reading Tutoring

Your Pace

In a reading class or group the teacher needs to keep moving, whether or not your child understands the concept. In contrast, your StudyPoint reading tutor will work at your child's pace and will review material until it's clear that he or she has mastered the concept.  

Your Needs

Our reading tutoring starts with a Science-of-Reading-based Assessment that drives the targeting of the program. We use that Assessment to identify your child's reading strengths and weaknesses, and in turn to customize the program to your child's needs.

Your Success

Our number one goal is to help your child build a strong academic foundation, but we also want to build the confidence that leads to a love of reading. As we all celebrate your child's progress, that enthusiasm for reading will grow and grow.

FOCUSED ON ALL COMPONENTS OF READING

Our Barton-based program addresses all areas of reading skill development, from phonemic awareness to vocabulary and comprehension, in order to boost your child's reading.  We use a variety of engaging materials, along with frequent parent feedback, to keep your child on track.

ENGAGINg ONLINE FORMAT

Instead of meeting at the kitchen table, your child and the tutor meet in an online learning environment custom-built for effective reading tutoring. This innovative format enables them to review and practice phonics, phonemes, decoding, spelling, and other critical building blocks of strong reading. Online reading tutoring replicates the in-person tutoring dynamic, and it’s remarkably effective.

Happy, Successful Students

Students spend 50% of their waking hours at school or doing homework, and something that occupies such a large amount of time inevitably plays a big role in their happiness. School is tough – there are social, emotional, and academic challenges – and kids know when they are behind their peers.

Ultimately, the end goal of a StudyPoint reading program is to build your child's reading abilities — to make sure he or she is at, and hopefully above, grade level. Schools measure and track kids' reading levels throughout the year, and we believe those independent, school-administered tests are the best measure of our success with our clients.

Yet there is an added benefit—something that is difficult to measure but easy to recognize. It is the sense of accomplishment that comes from working to improve something and seeing positive results. Few smiles are as big as the one on a child's face when he or she finishes reading a book that was out of reach just a few months earlier.

Our greatest reward is the positive feedback we get from parents who report their children are now confident and happy in school as a result of our tutoring.
