Reading Intervention in Joliet

If your child is struggling to keep up with reading, we can help those words click. Our Reading Intervention sessions are 45–60 minutes and start with a series of assessments to see exactly where your child is at. From there, we create a personalized plan that builds a strong foundation in phonemic awareness and phonics, using the proven Science of Reading approach. With the right tools, guidance, and encouragement, we’ll help your child grow their skills and confidence so reading feels easier—and even fun.

 

Whether your child is just beginning their reading journey, needs support with comprehension, or is showing signs of dyslexia, we meet them right where they are. Our goal is not just to improve skills on paper, but to build a love of reading that will last a lifetime.

Every child learns at their own pace, but sometimes extra support can make all the difference. Your child may benefit from Reading Intervention if you notice they:

  • Struggle to sound out words or confuse similar-looking words

  • Avoid reading or become frustrated when asked to read aloud

  • Read fluently but have trouble understanding or remembering what they read

  • Have difficulty recognizing common sight words

  • Mix up letter sounds or struggle to connect sounds to letters

  • Read much slower than classmates or siblings at a similar age

  • Show signs of dyslexia or have been formally diagnosed

  • Lose confidence in school or say they “hate reading”

How do I know if my child needs reading intervention?

If any of these sound familiar, Reading Intervention can help your child build the skills and confidence they need to succeed—both in and out of the classroom.
