Retention is treated as a second chance- but for kids with dyslexia, repeating the same instruction produces the same result.
The problem was never time or effort. It was always the method.
READ Learning Center offers one-to-one dyslexia tutoring in Sacramento built for how your child actually learns.

You've tried everything — and it still isn't working.
If other tutoring hasn't helped your child with dyslexia, it's not because they're not trying. It's because most tutoring centers use the same balanced literacy approach as the classroom. For dyslexic learners, that's the wrong intervention entirely.
READ Learning Center is different. Our specialists are trained in Orton-Gillingham and evidence-based structured literacy programs like Wilson and Barton — designed specifically for how the dyslexic brain learns to read.
Don't spend another semester on the wrong approach.

Did you know the approach we use to teach students with dyslexia dates back 100 years?
In the 1920s, Dr. Samuel Orton discovered that kids failing in school weren't struggling because they couldn't learn — their brains simply processed written language differently.
That research became the Orton-Gillingham approach — the gold standard behind most evidence-based dyslexia programs, including the Wilson Reading System we use at READ Academy.
It's not about intelligence. It's about finding the right approach.
