LearnUp Centers is an unique reading program, co-located at prestigious universities and corporate campuses, that teaches struggling readers, with or without a diagnosis of dyslexia, to read at grade level and beyond in about half the time as most other major reading programs. Many programs can teach kids to read. LearnUp is more effective and efficient—using one-on-one tutoring to teach struggling readers to read in about half the time as most other major reading programs. LearnUp integrates the best practices of the leading reading programs on the market (Orton-Gillingham makes up the backbone of our prorgram and is blended with Linda Mood-Bell, Slingerland, Reading Recovery, Whole Language, etc.) and combines them with the latest brain research and National Reading Panel recommendations to create a superior, systematic program that accelerates reading acquisition. Here’s what makes us different:

-- We teach reading by reading. We teach with age- and skill-level-appropriate books to keep readers interested and engaged.

-- We incorporate the best methodologies from the foremost reading programs in the world, blending them together with the latest brain research on how the dyslexic brain functions.

-- We offer multiple starting points to accommodate a student’s knowledge and background and give “credit” for the knowledge they bring with them. LearnUp gives back to our community though One to One scholarships. For every paying student we offer one low-income student a scholarship to learn to read.

Decodable chapter books that will have your teen smiling ear to ear! 🤗

This year, LearnUp Centers published Stories of the Looking Glass: a series of 10 phonics short stories written with middle and high schoolers in mind.

Each book features its own set of characters and storylines from different backgrounds and origins. While some stories allow students to connect with folklore passed down from generations, others feature modern day characters.
