Reading Interventionist - Remote Tutor

About us

Route to Reading is an online tutoring company. We help students catch up in reading. We are a Science of Reading company that focuses on teaching the foundational skills students need to become fluent readers. We specialize in helping students who are significantly below grade level and students with dyslexia.

Our current focus is to help students from low-income households that are participating in state-grant programs. Many of our older students have never received quality reading intervention, and their parents are accessing remote tutoring services for the first time.
