The Reading Lab
Helping Struggling Readers Grow into Bookworms
Reading is the foundation upon which all other academics are built. No skill is more critical to a student’s success than reading - all other learning depends on the ability to read.
Whether your child is a reluctant reader, struggling with comprehension, or simply needs more challenge, our expert online reading tutors design a plan tailored to their exact needs.
We combine the rigor of science-based instruction with warmth, creativity, and connection - because students learn best when they feel supported and understood.

The Lit-Lab Approach

-
Phenomes are the building blocks of reading. Our reading tutors help students recognize, isolate, and manipulate the individual sounds in words. By strengthening phonemic awareness, students improve decoding skills, develop stronger spelling abilities, and gain the confidence to tackle unfamiliar words with ease.
-
Students learn to connect letters and sounds systematically. Our online reading tutors guide them through structured lessons that build fluency, improve accuracy, and create automaticity in reading. This foundational skill allows struggling readers to approach text with less effort and more confidence.
-
A robust vocabulary is essential for textual insight and reading mastery. Each student’s reading tutor guides them in discovering and mastering new vocabulary within meaningful contexts. By teaching strategies to decode, understand, and retain words, we help struggling readers build stronger comprehension, unlock deeper understanding across subjects, and gain the confidence to engage with any text.
-
Understanding what is read is as important as reading the words themselves. Each reading tutor teaches individualized strategies for summarizing, predicting, inferring, and analyzing text, helping students move beyond decoding into critical thinking. This skill empowers students to engage with a wide variety of texts and succeed in academics.
-
Reading fluently isn’t just about speed - it’s about expression, phrasing, and comprehension. Our reading tutors model and coach expressive reading, helping students develop a natural rhythm and pace. As fluency improves, students feel more confident, motivated, and proud of their reading achievements.

“Reading was always a battle in our house and my son only wanted to read comics and graphic novels. With Lit-Lab, he’s gotten so much better that now he reads chapter books and even really likes it.”
~ Lily W. - Parent, 5th grader
“We live in a rural area and finding a reading tutor near me was basically impossible. I was skeptical to try online, but Lit-Lab actually made it fun. When my son started, he tested almost a full year behind, but now he’s reading at grade level.”
~ Crystal M.- Parent, 3rd grader
Wondering if reading challenges are DYSLEXIA ?
Not all reading struggles are dyslexia.
Students may struggle with reading for other reasons - such as ADHD, primary language, or limited instruction - and lumping all of those under “dyslexia” can lead to misdiagnosis or ineffective intervention.
Lit-Lab’s full academic assessments can tell you if your student needs standard reading remediation or dyslexia-specific tutoring. Our online assessments identify dyslexia and other learning disabilities, providing valuable insight into your student’s learning profile and paving a clear path forward with targeted remediation plans.
