Watching your child put in the effort and still struggle can be exhausting, especially after already trying extra practice and tutoring without meaningful progress.
When progress feels slow, many students begin to doubt themselves. Reading becomes a source of frustration rather than confidence.
At Strive, we provide personalized, evidence-based dyslexia instruction designed to help students in Colorado Springs become confident, capable readers.
With the right support, your child will grow in their confidence and skills.
We’ll create a personalized plan tailored to your child’s needs, goals, and interests.
We’ll discuss your child’s strengths, goals, and how we can partner to support them.
Your child will develop the phonemic awareness, decoding, and spelling tools needed to become a confident reader.
Every lesson engages visual, auditory, and kinesthetic methods to reinforce memory and boost retention.
Orton-Gillingham follows a step-by-step sequence, building on previously learned skills.
Your child will practice reading words using this new concept.
We will carefully introduce a new phonogram, rule, or pattern.
Next, we review previously learned patterns to reinforce memory and automaticity.
We start with auditory activities to strengthen your child's ability to identify and manipulate sounds, which is essential for building reading skills.
We wrap up each session with a brief review and then ending with a preferred game or activity.
For older students, we focus on affixes, base words, and root words to strengthen vocabulary.
Using a connected text, your child will practice reading with increased fluency.
We apply the new concept to spelling, helping your child break down sounds and spell accurately.
