Real feedback from families in our programs — unedited and verified.
"This program has been a lifesaver for my child's confidence and reading level. The teachers are incredible and my daughter actually looks forward to her sessions now."
"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. The difference in just four weeks was visible."
"Before it was like pulling teeth to read. Now she picks up books on her own. The expert teachers made all the difference — they understood exactly what she needed."
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 phonics, fluency, and comprehension so skills reinforce each other instead of living in isolation. The result: progress you can see, often within the first two weeks.
