Homeschool Instruction or Enrichment

Customized literacy experiences for homeschool students ranging from direct instruction to enrichment-based learning. Depending on the student's goals, sessions may focus on reading, spelling, writing, and comprehension, or incorporate novel studies, literature projects, interactive activities or crafts, and educational games that foster a love of reading through meaningful engagement with literacy. Available in-person or virtually.

Assessment and Action Plan

A comprehensive assessment designed to identify a student's reading strengths, areas of need, and instructional priorities. Families receive a written summary of findings along with individualized recommendations and an instructional action plan to guide next steps.

Small Groups

Families may form their own small groups of 2-4 students for personalized literacy instruction or enrichment. Groups can be created with siblings, friends, classmates, homeschool peers, or other students with similar ages and goals. Sessions may focus on reading intervention, literacy instruction, or enrichment activities. Group rates offer a more cost-effective alternative to 1:1 services. Available in-person only.
