Redwood In-Person | Local Dyslexia Tutoring & Support in Chicago

OFFERINGS

Exploring with Purpose

Completely Individualized

Every Redwood student receives an individualized intervention plan built around their unique baseline, progress rate, and end goals. Not one learning journey is the same as another.

Led by Experts

Every journey is led by a highly-trained, empathetic instructor equipped with evidence-based programs made specifically for kids with learning differences. Your child doesn't just get access to their instructor; they get access to a think tank of neurodivergent specialists.

Built Around Your Schedule

You pick the days and times your child meets with their online instructor. Best results are seen with longevity and consistency. A minimum dosage of twice-weekly sessions for at least three consecutive months is recommended to get started.

Results Oriented

Every month, you get a progress report that outlines which skills your child has mastered, which ones they are currently working on, and what is coming up. We hold ourselves accountable for ensuring that the results are documented and communicated.

OUR APPROACH

Year-Round Tutoring

Led by Redwood intervention specialists, our in-person learning centers are the perfect place to get your child plugged into a supportive community that is committed to their success. We offer after-school groups, before and after school 1-1 sessions, early literacy classes during the school day, and other school day options for homeschooled students. To get started, give us a call at 773-309-4524, email us at admissions@redwoodliteracy.com, or fill out the form below and one of our team members will reach out to you with next steps.

Understanding Your Student's Needs

Data is powerful. At Redwood, we administer reading assessments and dyslexia screeners to help families make important decisions about their child's educational journey, or advocate for additional services.

‍

At Redwood Literacy's In-Person locations, We Offer:

- Feifer Assessment of Reading - Dyslexia Screening Form (FAR-SF):
‍
‍The FAR-SF is a brief assessment designed to identify children at risk for developmental dyslexia by measuring the underlying processes of reading. This assessment will tell you the level of risk your child has of developing dyslexia and if it is high enough to warrant further assessment. It usually takes around 20 - 30 minutes.

- Feifer Assessment of Math - Dyscalculia Screening Form (FAM - SF):

The FAM-SF is a brief assessment designed to identify children at risk for dyscalculia by measuring the underlying cognitive processes required for mathematical achievement. This assessment will tell you the level of risk your child has of developing dyscalculia and if it is high enough to warrant further assessment or intervention. This assessment does not provide an official diagnosis of dyscalculia. It usually takes around 20 - 30 minutes.

- Word Identification and Spelling Test (WIST):

The WIST is a norm-referenced assessment that assesses a student's Word Identification, Spelling, and Sound Symbol Knowledge about their peers.

- Gray Oral Reading Test - 5th Edition (GORT-5):

The GORT-5 is a norm-referenced assessment that measures a student's reading Fluency (Rate + Accuracy) and Comprehension in relation to their peers.
