Albuquerque Dyslexia Camp
This summer, our dyslexia camps are led by our Albuquerque-based literacy specialists. 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.

Does this sound familiar?
- Your child...
- Reads slowly or skips words when reading aloud
- Avoids reading or says "I hate reading"
- Struggles to sound out new words even after years of phonics
- Spells the same word differently every time
- Has an IEP, 504, or has been tested for dyslexia
- Is smart and capable, and reading holds everything back
- You've tried other approaches before and they didn't stick
Redwood Literacy was built for exactly this child.
Redwood Literacy 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. This summer, we’re in Albuquerque offering an intensive Dyslexia Summer Camp with small groups and guaranteed progress.
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.
This is the window. Our dyslexia camp exists 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.
What your child will do every morning
Four expert-led stations. Every student rotates through all four every day.
STATION 1
Decoding & Encoding
• Wilson Reading System® (WRS), the gold standard in structured literacy
• Phoneme segmentation, blending, and syllable mastery
• The method used by learning specialists worldwide for children with dyslexia
STATION 2
Reading Comprehension
• Read-alouds with guided annotation
• Vocabulary in context, fluency, and text discussion
• Building meaning from words, not just decoding them
STATION 3
Writing Our
World™
• Writing Our World™ curriculum, structured, joyful, scaffolded
• Sentence structure → paragraph building → narrative writing
• For kids who freeze at a blank page
STATION 4
Six Success Tricks + Assistive Tech
• Six evidence-based study and reading strategies that transfer to any classroom
• Assistive tech: reading pens, text-to-speech, dictation tools
• Tools your child can use independently for life
Guaranteed Progress. Full Stop.

“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.“
“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.“
This summer could completely change how next school year goes for your child.
