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.

We are so proud of our own Rachel Z. Roth, Director of Educational Support Services at Mind by Design, who is presenting this Wednesday evening as part of the LearnUp Speaker Series.

Rachel will be walking parents and educators through what executive functioning skills actually look like at home and at school — what the challenges are, why they show up differently for neurodiverse kids, and most importantly, what you can do to support them across both environments.

If you are a parent, teacher, or anyone who works with children and wants practical strategies you can use right away — this one is free, it is online, and it is one hour of your time well spent.

Happy Teacher Appreciation week! Thank you to teachers across the nation for all the effort and care you put towards your students and classrooms. 🥰

At LearnUp, we help teach struggling readers how to read. The work we do would not be possible without the support of our amazing educators! Teachers uplift students to grow and overcome challenges and are instrumental in making sure certain students receive extra support when needed.

In this video, we wanted to highlight and thank Ms. Deb from Mission High School in San Francisco. Her support of our program has allowed us to provide critical reading intervention to high school students struggling in reading. Thank you for all the work that you do!

At LearnUp, our goal is not only to teach your child how to read, but also to empower them to have the confidence to face challenges and do hard things. Hear directly from one of our tutors, Jackie, on why she loves being a LearnUp tutor.

Reading is an essential skill that involves much more than academics, so when a student is struggling to read, this means they are also struggling to engage with the world around them. Our goal at LearnUp is to help create happy and confident readers who are ready to take on any challenge.
