Why The Reading Village?
Just like many skills in life, it is essential to create a strong foundation in order to build lasting success.
At The Reading Village, we understand that foundational reading skills are difficult for many children. Students with language-based learning differences and in particular those diagnosed with dyslexia, have an extremely difficult time mastering the skills necessary to becoming a proficient reader. All children benefit from being taught explicitly and systematically while some children need additional time and repetition to master necessary skills.

“Stacey is no ordinary tutor! She’s become family and has literally helped save our son from a world of frustration and self-doubt. Stacey started working with Josh the summer after first grade when he was diagnosed with dyslexia. Josh is reading at grade-level and is now a super-confident middle schooler.”
