GROUP SESSIONS

7007 N Glenwood Ave
Rogers Park, Chicago
Join us for multi-sensory, small-group, structured literacy intervention using the Wilson Reading System. Built for any 1st - 8th grade student who has dyslexia, dysgraphia, or general literacy struggles that negatively impact their learning or self-confidence.
Individualized Focus
Kick off with a FREE individual comprehensive informal assessment with each student, parents or guardians, and other professionals to assess target areas and set individual learning goals.
Collaborative Learning
Maintain individualized instruction while benefiting from the social dynamic of working alongside peers. Active, social, student-owned educational experiences lead to deeper learning.

“Redwood Literacy creates a fun, engaging & personalized lesson each time. Not only has my 4th-grade son’s confidence grown, but his reading level & test scores have jumped significantly from below to above grade level.”
