Evidence-Based Programs

We don’t make up lessons. We use intervention programs grounded in the Science of Reading and proven effective for struggling readers. These programs are carefully chosen because research shows they produce results, and we adapt lessons only to meet individual needs—not to reinvent the wheel. This consistent, research-based approach ensures that every child is learning from the best possible methods and materials.

Assess → Match → Monitor

​

We start with assessment -- reviewing recently administered tests or doing our own -- and a short family interview to understand your child’s strengths and challenges, and to learn your goals. This information guides us in selecting the best-fit program and setting clear, measurable goals. From there, we track progress at regular intervals and adjust instruction as soon as needed—so we’re always working toward the best outcomes.

Expert Oversight

Every tutor at Spark Literacy is personally trained and supervised by our founder, a nationally certified dyslexia interventionist with over 30 years of experience. This means your child’s lessons are never left to chance. Tutors use high-quality programs and meet regularly to review student progress. Parents can trust that every tutor is backed by deep expertise and ongoing guidance.

Focused, Frequent & Virtual

​

We meet with students online 2–4 times a week in short, targeted lessons that keep momentum high without overwhelming them. This virtual format means more flexibility for busy families and the ability to work with the best tutors regardless of location. We provide all materials digitally or by mail, so your child has everything they need to succeed from day one.
