Real feedback from families in our programs — unedited and verified.
"This program has been a lifesaver for my child's confidence. She can read more fluently and has started to comprehend what she's reading so much better."
"My son had major breakthroughs. His overall confidence has grown so much. He went from avoiding books to asking to read before bed."
"We searched for a program that could help our daughter, and nothing worked until this. This program is absolutely amazing. I will recommend this to everyone."
"She is so excited about learning phonics and being able to recognize more words! The teachers have great energy and make learning fun."
The Institute of Reading Development has been building skilled, enthusiastic readers since 1970. Over our 56 years, we've worked with more than 200 partners and served over 3 million families across the United States.
Our approach is different: we focus exclusively on reading. Not math, not science, not test prep. One subject, taught by expert reading teachers who are trained in a curriculum refined over five decades. We are exceedingly selective with our teachers, hiring fewer than 3% of applicants.
Every program — summer, monthly, tutoring — uses an integrated system that connects foundational skills like phonics and fluency with higher-level comprehension, vocabulary, and critical analysis — so skills reinforce each other instead of living in isolation. The result: progress you can see, often within the first two weeks.
