LITERACY INSTRUCTION THAT WORKS
Spark’s qualified tutors offer support for children struggling with reading, writing, spelling, and comprehension. Through research- and evidence-based, multi-sensory, incremental, explicit curriculum, students learn to read, write, and spell confidently—while becoming aware of the extraordinary gifts and strengths that accompany dyslexia and the ways in which they can celebrate and cultivate these strengths.
​
Spark’s approach is rooted in the widely recognized and respected Orton-Gillingham method for teaching students who need explicit, structured literacy instruction and/or remediation.

MEET CARTER!
Carter is a former Spark student who now tutors our younger emerging readers!
​
He has proudly shared his experience and presented to fellow students about the strengths associated with learning differences and the power of learning to read in order to read to learn. We appreciate Carter’s warmth, humor, and professionalism. He quickly became an outstanding reading tutor, and we feel so fortunate to have him as a part of Spark's team of dyslexia specialists!
