What to expect
Step 1: Initial Meeting
The initial meeting is a no-fee conference that involves both SLD Read staff and the prospective student. During this conference, Education Services Specialists gather the information needed to determine the next steps. Sign up for your initial conference today.
Step 2: Assessments
After the initial meeting, the prospective student will undertake various assessments to help SLD Read staff determine the student’s strengths and weaknesses in reading, writing and spelling. After testing, results are reviewed with the student and/or parent/guardian.
Step 3: Tutoring
Students who qualify for SLD Read’s services can participate in our individualized, 1:1, multi-sensory instruction in reading, writing and spelling. Tutored students will be taught at least twice weekly for 45-60 minutes per session. Additionally, students receive written progress reports monthly and are re-assessed every 50 lessons.
