High-Impact Literacy Support Services

Literacy Illuminated offers private tutoring (K-12), primarily for children struggling with, or wanting to strengthen and enrich their reading, writing, and spelling. Our team of educators and specialists present ideas and information clearly; we reach each student at their developmental level. We work to establish close and compassionate relationships with our students. We closely monitor their growth and continuously reflect on how to best serve the child. Literacy Illuminated is a proud professional member of the International Dyslexia Association (IDA).

Services:

  • Specialized private tutoring is often appropriate for students struggling with reading, writing, or spelling and students with learning differences, including: ADHD, autism, dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, anxiety, and/or executive functioning differences. We also strengthen the cricital thinking and inferring of on-grade level students, and twice-exceptional children.

    The Orton-Gillingham approach is highly effective in helping students with language-based differences. The approach is hands-on, backed by science, systematic, and sequential.

  • In addition to Orton-Gillingham multisensory learning, we offer academic support and coaching. This includes assisting students in developing important academic and life skills, such as: effective study practices, organizational strategies, test-taking strategies, and self-efficacy.

    For Schools: Literacy Illuminated can assist in providing compensatory services from the Covid-19 pandemic. We provide Literacy Coaching, turnaround teacher training in reading and writing, and private teacher mentoring services.

  • We help to analyze progress reports and other feedback received from the school; we are available for hire to consult with parents regarding the development of an Individualized Education Plan (IEP), or 504 plan. We provide a fresh eye on the supports currently provided, and work together to help parents advocate for any additional supports the learner may benefit from.
