Built for families like yours.
Redwood Literacy began as a team of educators in Chicago committed to closing the gap for students who weren’t getting the reading support they needed in traditional settings. Since then, it has grown into a national program partnering with schools, districts, and families across multiple states, including Tennessee.
Redwood was built for families who are still looking for what works, whether your child has a dyslexia diagnosis, an IEP, or you just know something isn’t clicking. Since 2018, we’ve helped thousands of students make measurable reading gains. Our approach is backed by a research partnership with Johns Hopkins University and recognized with a Tutoring Program Design Badge from Stanford’s National Student Support Accelerator.
Our Nashville Dyslexia Services
Dyslexia Assessments
Assessments
A clear starting point for families who need answers. Our specialists use standardized, research-supported assessments to identify reading and writing challenges, pinpoint strengths, and recommend next steps for school and tutoring. You’ll receive a full written report you can use for IEP meetings, teacher conversations, and planning support.
Dyslexia Tutoring
One-on-One Tutoring
High-impact structured literacy instruction designed for students who need focused, individualized support. Sessions target the specific skills holding your child back, from decoding and spelling to fluency and comprehension. Led by licensed teachers and certified dyslexia practitioners, lessons build confidence and measurable progress..
Group Tutoring
Small-Group Tutoring
A small-group option that provides targeted, structured literacy support while giving students the advantage of learning alongside peers with similar needs. Groups are intentionally kept small so each child receives meaningful attention, gains confidence through shared practice, and benefits from the collaborative momentum that small-group learning creates.
Dyslexia Summer Camp
This summer, our dyslexia camps are led by our Nashville-based founders, the same specialists behind our instructional model. Students work in small, focused groups with direct oversight in every session. The program is structured for measurable improvement, with targeted instruction designed to move skills forward over the course of the camp.
You have one summer to change next school year.
If your child starts August at the same reading level they’re at today, the gap doesn’t stay the same. It widens. Every year that passes makes it harder to catch up. This is the window. Our June and July camps exist for this reason.

Work Directly with Our Founders This Summer
Redwood Literacy was founded in Chicago in 2018. We have supported thousands of families across Illinois and now run our programs nationally. The East Nashville Summer Intensive is our first in-person pop-up location outside of our home market.
When you enroll your child this summer, you’re working with Kait and Andre directly. The same two people who started Redwood in Chicago in 2018, have worked with thousands of families, and built the program from the ground up. Not a program director. Not a trained staff member. Both Kait and Andre are certified Wilson Reading System® specialists and parents of children with dyslexia.

• The method used by learning specialists worldwide for children with dyslexia
STATION 2

World™

Meet Our Nashville Based Founders
Kait Feriante
Co-Founder · Learning Behavior Specialist · Certified Wilson Reading System® Specialist
“I’m Kait. I co-founded Redwood with Andre in Chicago in 2018 after teaching together in Chicago’s public and charter school systems, because we couldn’t find the right programs for kids who were smart but couldn’t read. We’ve worked with thousands of families since then. Andre and I moved to East Nashville in 2022 with our family, and this summer, we finally get to bring Redwood in-person to our new home community. We will be teaching every session and co-authoring every student’s End-of-Summer Report with Andre. If your child has been told they’re behind, I want to meet them.“
Andre Feriante
Co-Founder ·English Teacher· Certified Wilson Reading System® Specialist
“I’m Andre. Around Nashville, some people know me as Sonny Luca. As a proud dyslexic myself, I understand firsthand what it feels like to struggle with reading and writing. What I’ve learned, both personally and professionally, is that with the right instruction, the right tools, and the right support, those doors can open. That belief is at the center of my work. I focus on combining empathy with research-based practices so students not only make progress, but also begin to see what is actually possible for their lives. Kait and I built Redwood together with that in mind. This summer in East Nashville is going to be such a fun expression of that. I can’t wait to meet my students.“
