Ready for some meaningful progress and actionable changes this summer?

Who is ready for some warmer weather this week?! 😎So. Are. We.
..so, we thought it would be a GREAT time to get the ball rollin' on announcing our summer reading program! Here is what you can expect, because this ain't your average tutoring 🗣

🔆10 sessions (or more) of highly systematic, methodical reading instruction that is evidence-based. No practicing reading out of random books or doing "fun word games" that are not the best use of instructional time.
🔆Highly trained and qualified teachers, reading specialists, and special education teachers who have a DEEP understanding of the Science of Reading
🔆Lessons targeted and scaffolded to meet your child's individual skills.
🔆An opportunity to understand what your child ACTUALLY needs to learn to read!
🔆Small town, small business customer service.

❓Do you have an older child who needs more than reading help? We got you covered, too. Ask us about our supports available for writing and morphological awareness!

👉🏻P.S. Does your struggling reader also need help with math? We think we have something for them, as well.

Here's how it works:
💙 Email steffany@dyslexiaillinois.com; these spots are first come, first serve.
💙Be prepared to pay your first, non-refundable installment of $325 at the time of booking.
💙Let us know where you want your child to be seen ( 💛Lincoln, 💛Springfield, remotely via 💛Zoom), and what support they need.
💙Be prepared to pay your next installment of $325 by April 15. If you cancel before May 1st, your 2nd installment is refunded. If you cancel after May 1st, your money is forfeited (but do talk to us before you take this step!)

Last year, we filled up within weeks and expect to do the same. We have a team of reading coaches READY to work with you. So, whaddya say?!

Just a reminder that we are currently signing up families for summer services. We are steadily adding children to the summer roster, and we do expect to be full sooner rather than later. If you’re noticing that your child is having more difficulty with reading, we encourage you to consider us!

Reminder- we service kids ALL OVER and NOT just in Springfield!

📖👓 Reading comprehension➡️ is the sum of many parts

And….

It’s not about answering and quizzing your child AFTER they have read a text 🤔

Curious? Take a listen 👂🏽

Who says reading therapy can’t be the best time of your day?! 👏🏻

A five-star review in our eyes! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We LOVE this post, and is something we preach regularly. Levels DO NOT equal SKILLS. Researchers have found that for children in any given “level”, each child will have a variety of reading skills. Ultimately, researchers have said that you’re better off “flipping a coin” to determine a level, because you have higher accuracy of getting it right.

Is your child’s progress being measured by a reading level? Are you concerned but their “level” says they are “A-ok”?

If so…maybe you should call us for a screening.

Instagram said any reel over 3 minutes won’t be shown to a “new audience”…but that’s A-OK, we know our faithful followers will share 🗣️🙏🏼

✨Even though we’ve been quiet, we’ve been busy! 🤪 Often, what we forget to SHOUT is that we offer a very unique perspective in how we evaluate kids, because we wear A LOT of hats 🎩

✅ clinician
✅ diagnostician
✅educator

Did you know that most diagnosticians aren’t trained clinicians, and that many have never worked in an educational setting?

Investing in this office is a sound choice 🫡

We are seeking to better understand how schools and districts are implementing the Illinois Dyslexia Handbook. Please help us by completing our survey and sharing this post to reach as many people as possible.

Thanks everyone!
