Question 1

What is the Science of Reading?

Question 3

What certifications should I look for in a reading specialist?

Common certifications include CALT (Certified Academic Language Therapist), Orton-Gillingham Academy Certified (OGA), Wilson Reading System Certified (WRS), and IMSLEC accreditation. The right certification depends on your child's needs; our directory lets you filter by each of these.

Question 4

How do I know if my child needs a reading tutor?

Accepted Answer

If your child is a struggling reader, whether in elementary school or older, signs they may benefit from a reading specialist include difficulty sounding out words, slow or inaccurate reading, trouble with spelling, avoiding reading, or a school evaluation suggesting dyslexia or a reading disability. A certified reading specialist can assess your child's needs and create a targeted plan.

Question 5

What is the difference between online and in-person tutoring?

Accepted Answer

Online (virtual) tutoring happens over video call, giving you access to specialists anywhere in the country. In-person tutoring takes place at the tutor's location or yours. Hybrid tutors offer both options. Many families find online reading tutoring sessions just as effective as in-person, especially for structured literacy instruction.

Question 6

My child can't read. What should I do?

Accepted Answer

If your child can't read at grade level, you're not alone, and there is help. The first step is to have your child evaluated by a reading specialist who can identify specific areas of difficulty, whether it's phonics, decoding, fluency, or comprehension. A certified reading tutor for kids can then create a targeted plan using structured literacy methods. Browse our directory to find a qualified reading tutor near you, online or in-person.
