When Reading Feels Like a Daily Struggle, There’s a Proven Path Forward
If your child has dyslexia or ongoing difficulty with decoding, fluency, and spelling, reading can feel like a constant uphill climb for both of you. Frustration builds. Confidence slips. And the gap between your child and their peers can widen.
The Wilson Reading System®, grounded in the Orton-Gillingham approach, is one of the most trusted, research-based methods for helping struggling readers build the skills they need step-by-step and at their own pace.
Our fully virtual Wilson Reading tutoring uses a high-tech learning platform designed for education, so your child can engage in structured, multi-sensory lessons from anywhere in Arlington, VA.
