LearnUp Centers is an unique reading program, co-located at prestigious universities and corporate campuses, that teaches struggling readers, with or without a diagnosis of dyslexia, to read at grade level and beyond in about half the ti

me as most other major reading programs. Many programs can teach kids to read. LearnUp is more effective and efficient—using one-on-one tutoring to teach struggling readers to read in about half the time as most other major reading programs. LearnUp integrates the best practices of the leading reading programs on the market (Orton-Gillingham makes up the backbone of our prorgram and is blended with Linda Mood-Bell, Slingerland, Reading Recovery, Whole Language, etc.) and combines them with the latest brain research and National Reading Panel recommendations to create a superior, systematic program that accelerates reading acquisition. Here’s what makes us different:

-- We teach reading by reading. We teach with age- and skill-level-appropriate books to keep readers interested and engaged.

-- We incorporate the best methodologies from the foremost reading programs in the world, blending them together with the latest brain research on how the dyslexic brain functions.

-- We offer multiple starting points to accommodate a student’s knowledge and background and give “credit” for the knowledge they bring with them. LearnUp gives back to our community though One to One scholarships. For every paying student we offer one low-income student a scholarship to learn to read.

Don't wait to enroll your child in reading tutoring this fall.

By the time you receive that first report card and realize your child is struggling to read, they could have already missed out on months of classroom instruction.

Not being able to read keeps a student from fully accessing the classroom.

If your child struggles to read, don't wait. Schedule a free intake assessment today and find out how you can give your child a head start this school year. https://learnupcenters.org/back-to-school-special-2026/

Isaac was one of our students from last summer. He told us honestly that reading felt hard and like something he couldn't do. After working with LearnUp Centers, he can read entire books and proud of himself for it! 💗

Struggling readers recognize when reading feels difficult and it can have a lasting impact on their confidence and in the classroom.
