Book Assessment

We believe that every child deserves access to the highest quality literacy instruction, which is why we adhere to the Structured Literacy framework. This evidence-based approach ensures that children are taught reading through explicit, systematic instruction that covers all essential components, including phonological awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension.

Our methods align with the Science of Reading, a body of research that synthesizes decades of studies on how children learn to read. We use data-driven strategies that support all learners, especially those who may struggle with reading. By focusing on the foundational skills that are critical for reading success, we aim to build confident, competent readers who can navigate increasingly complex texts.

We're Here For....

Early Readers

Let us build the foundation of literacy for your early reader. Our direct, explicit and systematic instruction is built around the science of reading and our tutors are trained in the Orton-Gillingham approach. Schedule a consultation to learn more about how we work with early readers.
Struggling Readers

Whether you’re 9 or 99, we’re here to help struggling to readers through explicit and systematic instruction that meets you where you are. Before we get started, we’ll plan a one hour complimentary assessment to determine you or your child’s needs. Schedule a consultation to see how we can help you or your child.
Homeschoolers
- We know how hard it is to find a homeschool curriculum that truly helps your child learn to read. If you have an early or struggling reader, we’ll develop a tutoring plan that includes instructions for homeschooling parents to carry on our work throughout the week.

We’re passionate about literacy. Here’s why:

In our word-filled world, literacy goes beyond reading and writing. It shapes our ability to learn, communicate, and navigate opportunities, influencing every aspect of our lives. Without it, we risk exclusion and limit our capacity to actively engage in the community around us. That’s why Kiss Your Brain believes in multi-sensory education that builds both language comprehension and word recognition.

Whether you’re looking for literacy resources for your homeschool, classes for your emerging reader, tutoring for your struggling reader, or information on how children learn to read, you’ve found the right place.

LITERACY IS A RIGHT

Literacy is a civil right. Without the ability to read, we struggle to be gainfully employed, read contracts, get drivers licenses and more. Children that cannot read are more likely to drop out of school and illiterate adults make up a huge portion of the prison population.

THERE’S HOPE

Research has shown that we can learn to read at any age. We believe in the science of reading that includes direct, explicit, systematic, sequential and diagnostic strategies to teach phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension.

We Believe In The Speech to Print Approach

The speech-to-print approach focuses on building reading and spelling skills by starting with spoken language, connecting it directly to written words. Unlike traditional methods, this approach prioritizes phonemic awareness and the mapping of speech sounds to their corresponding letters, creating a solid foundation for literacy. As a trained Orton-Gillingham practitioner, I offer a diagnostic and prescriptive method that identifies individual learning needs and tailors instruction to address them. This personalized approach empowers struggling readers and those with dyslexia to make meaningful progress, fostering confidence and a love of learning. By combining structured literacy principles with the science of reading, the speech-to-print method ensures every learner receives targeted, effective support.

FAQs

How Long Do Sessions Last?

Sessions last 55-60 minutes. Please note that from time to time children with difficulties such as ADHD or working memory challenges may be released early. We will not push your child beyond their capacity. We’re here to make education and learning impactful. Children who have reached their limit are neither learning nor learning to love education. Because of this, we may end sessions early to accommodate your child’s needs. Please reach out to us should you have questions or concerns about this policy.

How Do I Pay For Tutoring?

Invoices for tutoring are emailed once a month, typically on the first of the month for that month’s scheduled sessions. The sessions may be paid via the invoice or via another pre-arranged payment method.

Should I Choose Group Classes or 1:1 Tutoring?

This is your decision to make, however, we recommend 1:1 tutoring for children suspected of dyslexia. We would be happy to discuss this further over the phone.

What If I Miss a Pre-Paid Session?

We require a 24-hour notice of cancellation. Cancellations with an appropriate notice may be credited or rescheduled. Last-minute cancellations (less than 24 hours) will not be rescheduled or credited unless there is an emergency. Please refer to your contract for additional information.
