Reading tutoring that builds your child's confidence

Live sessions with a dedicated tutor, built on the Science of Reading.

Most families notice their child showing up more willing, and a little more proud, within the first several weeks.

A real curriculum. A tutor your child looks forward to. Reading time they are excited about.

When Reading Feels Stuck

No more guessing at words. No more reading avoidance. Just consistent progress with a tutor who knows where your child needs support.

What changes with consistent reading support

The struggle

With Savvy's approach:

The Difference

It works because the curriculum is structured, sequenced, and grounded in the Science of Reading, taught live by a specialist who knows your child.

Why consistent practice helps reading click

Skills that stick

New concepts come back across the following weeks, so they stick instead of slipping away.

Less resistance, more reading

When reading starts to feel possible, the fight fades. Many families notice their child stops avoiding it and starts picking up books on their own.

Starts where your child is

Your child enters the sequence at their own level, so lessons are never too easy or over their head. The right level is what makes practice pay off.

Confidence you can see

Children build confidence by experiencing real success in real time. Families regularly notice the change within the first several weeks of consistent sessions.

What Makes Savvy Reading Tutoring Different

A specialist who knows your child

Your child works with the same tutor trained specifically in K–6 reading, live, every session, so lessons build instead of restarting.

Built on the Science of Reading

Systematic phonics, repeated reading for fluency, and explicit vocabulary and comprehension instruction, grounded in the Science of Reading and the findings of the National Reading Panel.

Made for young learners

Lessons are paced and explained for how 5 to 11-year-olds actually learn, taught by tutors trained specifically in K–6 literacy.

A comprehensive reading program

Savvy is a comprehensive, Science of Reading-based reading program that develops phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension through live instruction with a reading specialist your child sees regularly.

What Reading Progress Actually Looks Like

What you'll notice:

Savvy’s program covers all five pillars the National Reading Panel identified as essential: phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension, taught explicitly and in order. New skills come back across the following weeks of lessons, so they stick.

His skills shot up like a cannon

At the start of the year he was assessed right at the beginning of second grade level. She assessed him again earlier this week and he’s basically at a third grade level. That’s in less than three months. She said his skills ‘shot up like a cannon.’ It is truly awesome and amazing the progress he has made.

The Savvy curriculum teaches him the decoding skills he needs

As an educator myself, I know what works and Savvy works. My son has dyslexia and the Savvy curriculum teaches him the decoding skills he needs to be a successful reader.

Now she volunteers to read to her little sister

My husband and I have noticed such a difference in Ella’s reading fluency and confidence level since she’s been doing Savvy Reading. She used to say she hated to read, and now she volunteers to read to her little sister.

How Savvy Reading Tutoring Works

STEP 1 Book your free trial

Tell us your child’s grade and that you’re interested in reading, then pick a time. No card required.

If it’s a good fit, pick the rhythm that works for your family: a small group or private, two to four days a week. Same curriculum in every plan.

Common Questions About Reading Tutoring

Will my child stay focused in a 25-minute online session?

Yes. Sessions are 25 minutes by design, sized for how elementary learners hold attention, and led live by a tutor who keeps your child involved the whole time. The format is built around how young children actually learn.

It depends on your child and your schedule. More frequent sessions allow each lesson to build naturally on the last, helping skills stay fresh and progress happen more quickly. Many families start with a schedule they can maintain consistently and adjust later if needed.

Every child moves at their own pace. Families regularly notice changes in confidence and reading skill within the first few weeks of consistent sessions.

Yes. We welcome learners with dyslexia, ADHD, and other learning differences. Savvy’s reading instruction is grounded in the Science of Reading and emphasizes explicit, systematic teaching. Your child’s tutor will meet them at their current level and help them build skills and confidence over time. Savvy is not a clinical intervention program, but it can be an effective complement to other supports your child may receive.

We’ll match your child with a different tutor at no additional cost. The relationship matters.

Savvy is a complete reading program built on the Science of Reading, taught live by a reading specialist your child sees regularly. Plans start at $179 a month, and your child’s first session is a free trial.

Ready to see how it fits?
