Frequently Asked Questions

We support families just like yours.  If you have recently noticed your child began to struggle and progress at any age, we can pinpoint the root and begin where your child needs support.  

Do you see that your emerging kindergarten reader isn't retaining or recognizing the alphabet.  

Does your highly verbal first or second grader feel frustrated when asked to spell or read?

Has your adolescent child recently began to struggle with comprehension? 

When not addressed properly, these concerns will cause frustration and lead to lack of motivation, but at the The Reading Ally we can help your family avoid these feelings.

Has your child received a year or more of reading support at school and from you at home? After receiving support has your child plateaued in achieving reading and spelling gains?
