Can one summer of reading really make that big of a difference in your child's literacy? At LearnUp Centers, the answer is YES.
Visit tinyurl.com/LearnUp-Blog to read all about LearnUp tutor Marely's experience with students over summer.
Here's the LearnUp difference:
🧠Our program and materials are aligned to the Science of Reading and incorporates brain research to make learning effective.
👩🏫Trained and certified LearnUp tutors work 1-on-1 with your child to cater to their exact learning needs.

📚From the very first lesson, we will start your child reading in a decodable phonics book and immerse them in a storybook environment that aligns to what they are learning.

We are so proud of our own Rachel Z. Roth, Director of Educational Support Services at Mind by Design, who is presenting this Wednesday evening as part of the LearnUp Speaker Series.
Rachel will be walking parents and educators through what executive functioning skills actually look like at home and at school — what the challenges are, why they show up differently for neurodiverse kids, and most importantly, what you can do to support them across both environments.
If you are a parent, teacher, or anyone who works with children and wants practical strategies you can use right away — this one is free, it is online, and it is one hour of your time well spent.

Happy Teacher Appreciation week! Thank you to teachers across the nation for all the effort and care you put towards your students and classrooms. 🥰
At LearnUp, we help teach struggling readers how to read. The work we do would not be possible without the support of our amazing educators! Teachers uplift students to grow and overcome challenges and are instrumental in making sure certain students receive extra support when needed.
In this video, we wanted to highlight and thank Ms. Deb from Mission High School in San Francisco. Her support of our program has allowed us to provide critical reading intervention to high school students struggling in reading. Thank you for all the work that you do!
