Finding the right support for a struggling reader can be overwhelming. Many families spend money on once-a-week tutoring that isn’t systematic, doesn’t follow proven methods, and leads to slow or limited progress.

​

At Spark Literacy, we do things differently. Our tutoring model is built on the Science of Reading and uses structured, evidence-based programs followed with fidelity. Instruction happens frequently and consistently, which research shows leads to the fastest growth. And because all tutors are trained and supervised by a certified dyslexia interventionist with 30+ years of experience, families can trust that every session is high-quality and effective.

​

The result? A smarter, more effective, and more affordable alternative to traditional tutoring—one designed to help struggling readers succeed.

​

How Our Services Work​​

​

  • Initial Assessment & Plan

We begin by evaluating each child's reading strengths and needs with assessments given by an expert reading specialist. This informs a customized instructional plan so each student is matched with a proven program to meet their needs. 

  • Frequent, Focused Tutoring

Students meet virtually with a Spark Literacy tutor for 2–4 sessions per week (40-50 minutes each). Lessons are built on structured literacy programs aligned to the Science of Reading—not pieced-together activities—so every session is systematic and effective.

  • Ongoing Progress Monitoring

We track student growth closely. Families meet regularly with the reading specialist and tutor to review progress, adjust goals, and celebrate success.

  • Flexible Supports

    • Optional computer-based reading practice aligned to tutoring ($100/month) can add a session per week of supported, independent practice.

    • Parent/caregiver training on literacy development, assessment, and supporting learning at home

    • Subscriptions to libraries of decodable books to practice in-between sessions
