Experienced Reading Tutors for Students & Families

At The Reading Center, we do not believe in one-size fits all solutions. We take a personal, prescriptive approach to address the specific learning needs of each student.

Tutoring
For families with students who need additional literacy support.
Support Services
For families with students who need additional academic support due to an identified learning disability.
Our Services
Testing and Evaluation
We design a comprehensive suite of batteries and assessments to determine if and how the interplay among cognitive development, oral language development, and instruction impacts an individual’s ability to read and comprehend texts (ages 6 and up).
Literacy Intervention & Remediation
We provide prescriptive, multi-sensory services to students and adults (ages 6 and up) who demonstrate a need for additional support in one or more areas of literacy (such as reading, writing, speaking, and listening). These services are prioritized based on the needs of each applicant and space availability.
Case Management & Support
We provide academic case management support on a case-by-case basis for students identified as learning disabled and who require accommodations or modifications because of an identified reading disability.
Family Support & Advocacy
We provide advocacy support services for families navigating goals, accommodations, and modifications for school-age children as well as postsecondary students identified as learning disabled.
Testimonials
“Kendra was a once in a lifetime opportunity for our family. As our daughter struggled to read and comprehend her schoolwork Kendra developed a learning strategy that not only allowed our daughter to succeed but exceed our expectations. If you need this educational intervention on behalf of your child, I would seek Kendra’s expertise at your earliest inclination of need.
Three years later following learning skills developed with Kendra, our daughter is now scoring in the top 10 to 20% of her class.”

“By the time my daughter was a year and a half, I noticed that she wasn’t as verbally mature as my son was at the same age. She was also having trouble with the fundamentals of learning how to read. Last year, we decided to visit The Reading Center, so that Dr. DeWalt could do a comprehensive assessment on our daughter. Dr. DeWalt’s extremely vast knowledge and help has been life changing for our child. With her recommendations and guidance, I am happy to report that our daughter, Morgan, reads fluently; is verbally effective; and her writing and penmanship skills have surpassed that of her peers. I am so thankful that I was able to have Morgan seen at The Reading Center. If your loved one is struggling with reading, don’t hesitate to contact Dr. DeWalt. My only regret is that I didn’t bring my daughter to The Reading Center sooner!”
