Evaluate
Use a grade-appropriate screen for decoding, fluency, vocabulary, comprehension, and written response.
K–12 · Proposed parent pathway
Build stronger readers at the right level.
The Intensive Reading Program is designed for learners in kindergarten through grade 12—from beginner to advanced. Every student begins with a grade-appropriate evaluation so instruction can match the skills they need next.
K–12 support Beginner · intermediate · advanced Speed plus comprehension
For parents
A clear path from evaluation to progress.
Families do not have to guess which level to choose. The evaluation gives us a starting profile, then the student is placed into the most appropriate reading pathway.
Place
Review the results and recommend beginner, intermediate, or advanced support at the correct instructional level.
Teach
Use explicit instruction, guided reading, repeated practice, discussion, and feedback in each session.
Review
Check progress every four weeks and adjust the plan when the student is ready for a new challenge.
Proposed evaluation model
Different tasks for different readers.
The final tools should include a separate version for each grade—K, 1, 2, and so on through 12—organized within the skill bands below. This keeps every evaluation age-appropriate while using the same parent-friendly placement logic.
Foundations
Letter-sound knowledge, phonological awareness, early decoding, oral reading, listening comprehension, and a short retell.
Target time: 25–35 minutesFluency & meaning
Word recognition, multisyllabic decoding, reading rate, accuracy, vocabulary, passage comprehension, and a short written response.
Target time: 40–50 minutesGrade-level literacy
Informational and literary passages, context vocabulary, main idea, inference, evidence, fluency, and paragraph response.
Target time: 45–60 minutesAcademic reading
Complex text analysis, academic vocabulary, evidence-based reasoning, synthesis, timed reading, and written analysis.
Target time: 55–70 minutesImportant: speed is never scored alone.
Reading rate should be reviewed together with accuracy, comprehension, and a student’s ability to explain what they read. A faster reader who cannot understand the text should not be placed into a more advanced level based on speed alone.
Recommended package structure
Start with an 8-week plan, then adjust.
These are proposed starting prices for planning. The final price can change by grade, session length, group size, staff credentials, and whether the student needs a higher-frequency intervention.

Small-group option
Reading Studio · proposed at $280/month per student
Eight 60-minute sessions with two to four students placed at a similar instructional level. Recommended as an 8-week cycle. This can make support more accessible while preserving targeted practice.
Why this range: the proposed structure is designed around local in-center tutoring benchmarks, with a clear distinction between individualized instruction and small-group support. Final prices should be approved after staffing, materials, and room capacity are confirmed.
Suggested schedule
Use short cycles that families can understand.
Begin with an eight-week cycle for most students. Keep the commitment clear, measure progress at the midpoint, and renew only when the next goal is defined.
Week 0
Evaluation & placement
Complete the grade-appropriate screen, review the parent summary, and choose the frequency and format.
Weeks 1–4
Build the core skills
Teach the selected focus skills with guided reading, explicit modeling, repeated practice, and short checks.
Week 4
Mid-cycle progress check
Review accuracy, comprehension, fluency, student confidence, and attendance; adjust the plan if needed.
Weeks 5–8
Transfer & reassess
Apply the skills to grade-level texts and decide whether to continue, move levels, or reduce frequency.
