Summer Sprint: One-on-One Reading Tutoring That Creates Real Change

If your child has been struggling with reading, you know how deeply it affects everything else — school, confidence, motivation, and self-esteem. Summer Sprint is designed to change that story.

Summer Sprint is an intensive, one-to-one structured literacy tutoring program for students of all ages, from elementary through high school. It is built for struggling readers who need more than practice — they need targeted instruction that works.

This is not a traditional summer camp. It is daily, individualized reading intervention designed to help students make fast, meaningful gains and rebuild confidence before the school year begins.

Real Progress in Just Weeks

Last summer, students made remarkable gains.
Rising 6th graders increased their reading proficiency by an average of 1–2 grade levels in just 19 days. But the most powerful changes weren’t just academic — they were emotional.

One parent shared:
“The program just ended yesterday, and I already feel the impact it’s had on my daughter not only in her reading but in her confidence. It’s been truly life changing for both of us.”

Another parent told us:
“He came home talking about spelling and reading in an excited way for the first time in years. He said that he felt supported and understood in your program in a way he never was in his school.”
When students finally experience success, something shifts. Reading becomes possible — and even exciting — again.

Why Summer Is the Perfect Time

Summer offers a unique opportunity for growth. Without the pressure of daily homework, testing, and classroom pacing, students can focus deeply on the skills they need most. With daily one-to-one tutoring, progress accelerates. Confidence builds. Students return to school stronger, more capable, and more willing to engage. For many families, Summer Sprint becomes the turning point.

Flexible, Online, and Designed for Real Life

Summer Sprint is designed to work with your family’s summer schedule:

  • Online tutoring
  • 5 days a week, 1 hour per day
  • 4-week minimum commitment
  • Choose any four weeks between June 15 and August 15
  • Instruction tailored to your child’s specific needs

Because sessions are online, students can participate from anywhere — at home, on vacation, or between camps — without losing momentum.

Built for Struggling Readers

Summer Sprint is especially effective for students who:

  • Are below grade level in reading
  • Have dyslexia or suspected dyslexia
  • Work hard but don’t make expected progress
  • Avoid reading due to frustration or anxiety
  • Need to catch up quickly

All instruction is grounded in structured literacy and the science of reading — explicit, systematic, and proven to work for struggling readers.

A Summer That Can Change Everything

Four weeks of the right instruction can change a child’s academic path — and their confidence — for years to come.

If your child has been stuck or falling behind, Summer Sprint offers a chance to make real progress fast and start the school year strong.

Spots are limited due to the one-to-one format.
