Grade 3 or 4 boy struggling to read a book looking miserable.

Don’t ‘Wait and See’

Don’t end up in 4th grade trouble. Take charge of your child’s reading journey early.

Seize the opportunity and skip the risk.

Modern reading science is clear: explicit, individualized instruction and practice in the critical SK-2 window is the key to universal reading success. Yet for way too many kids, this isn't happening. And worse, parents are often in the dark until it's too late. We’ve seen it a thousand times.

As a parent, you want to understand the early reading risks and opportunity, then get proactive. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Our Lexia at Home tutoring program is the most powerful, affordable and accountable way to ensure your child thrives in their early reading journey, no matter what is happening at school.

Sk-2 is the critical window to wire up young brains for reading

The not so hidden problem

Public school systems struggle with reading

Diverse learning needs

Reading is a complex skill with many components. Each child needs specific personal instruction to avoid gaps.

Lack of individual attention

Large busy classrooms leave little time for the individualized attention many kids need for reading mastery.

The ‘Wait and see’ myth

A harmful outdated idea that young kids who are behind in early years will "catch up on their own".

The early reading risks are bigger than most parents realize

30-60%

of 4th grade students are behind in reading*

*varies widely by jurisdiction, district and even school

70%

of readers behind in 1st grade will still be behind in 8th grade*

* National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP)

20%

of kids struggle with symptoms of dyslexia, many never identified

* International Dyslexia Association

Waiting until a child fails to read in third grade is like waiting for a fever to become a life-threatening illness before seeking a doctor.

the really important part

The ‘Matthew Effect’

Early reading changes the trajactory of a life, for better or worse.

Positive spiral of early advantage

Strong early reading ignites a spiral of confidence, capability and success that builds on itself for a lifetime, like an investment.

Negative spiral of disadvantage

Early reading struggles can slip into a negative spiral with feelings of shame, inadequacy and failure that can lead to a lifetime of risks.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure
