Why Standard Tutoring Often Fails Struggling Readers
Many parents hire a reading tutor only to find that their child continues to struggle with spelling and decoding. This is because standard tutoring often focuses on “more of the same” classroom instruction.
At Reading With Results, we utilize the Science of Reading. Our tutors are specialists in Structured Literacy, focusing on how the brain actually learns to read. We don’t just practice reading; we rewire the neural pathways required for language processing.
As your specialized reading tutor, we utilize the Barton Reading & Spelling System—a premier, multisensory implementation of the Orton-Gillingham approach. This method is the gold standard for dyslexia and is characterized by being:
Multisensory: Simultaneous use of sight, sound, and touch.
Systematic & Cumulative: Mastery of one level is required before moving to the next.
Explicit: No guessing. We teach the logic and rules of the English language.
What to Expect from Your Reading Tutoring Sessions
A high-quality reading tutor should provide a diagnostic-prescriptive experience. Every session at Reading With Results is tailored to your child’s specific “Swiss cheese” gaps in their education.
Phonemic Awareness: The foundation of all literacy. We train the ear to hear and manipulate sounds.
Decoding & Fluency: Turning “choppy” reading into smooth, confident speech.
Spelling & Encoding: Teaching students to spell by logic, not by rote memorization.
Writing with IEW: We integrate the Institute for Excellence in Writing (IEW) to ensure reading success translates into academic writing success.
