One-on-one tutoring, at least 2 hours per week are needed to close the gap. In most cases it only takes 2 to 3 years to achieve grade level accuracy. I use fun engaging activities so students don't know they are getting lots of repetition for mastery.  A diagnosis of Dyslexia is not necessary as the techniques I use are effective for any struggling reader.
Initial screening is free.
