Here are some common reading challenges our services address:
Guessing or skipping words while reading
Reading in a choppy, hesitant, or robotic way

Avoiding reading aloud or feeling anxious about reading
Every child deserves to feel confident and capable when they open a book, and our compassionate, personalized instruction helps kids make measurable progress.
How are sessions tailored for individual needs?
Every child at Accomplished Kids begins with a comprehensive reading assessment so we can pinpoint their exact skill gaps and strengths. From there, we design a personalized learning plan built around what your child needs most.
Our tutors adjust each session in real time — choosing the right decodable texts, pacing, and activities to match your child’s learning style and confidence level.
Because no two readers are alike, no two sessions look the same. Every lesson is designed to help your child make steady, measurable progress while keeping reading fun and encouraging.
What qualifications do your tutors have?
All Accomplished Kids tutors are highly trained in the Science of Reading and specialize in helping students build strong reading fluency through structured literacy instruction.
Our tutors have backgrounds in education, reading intervention, and special education, and receive ongoing training in evidence-based methods proven to help struggling readers — including children with dyslexia, ADHD, and other learning differences.
Every tutor is carefully selected for their expertise, warmth, and ability to connect with kids.
How do you assess a childs reading level?
To assess a child's reading level, we begin with a comprehensive reading assessment that helps us understand their exact strengths and challenges.
During the assessment, we:
Listen to your child read aloud to measure fluency and accuracy
Identify patterns like guessing, skipping, or reversing words
Evaluate decoding skills, sight word recognition, and pacing
Use brief, evidence-based screeners to pinpoint where support is needed most
You’ll receive a clear summary of your child’s current reading level — along with personalized recommendations and a plan to help them make progress quickly.
What is the duration of each tutoring session?
Each Accomplished Kids tutoring session lasts 25 minutes — the perfect length to keep students focused, motivated, and engaged from start to finish.
Our sessions are intentionally designed to match a child’s attention span and maximize every minute of learning.
Are there group tutoring options available?
Yes! In addition to 1:1 tutoring, Accomplished Kids offers small group sessions for students who benefit from learning alongside peers.
Our blended tutoring packages include one private lesson and one small-group lesson each week. This model gives children the individual attention they need to build core reading skills and the collaborative practice that helps them apply what they’ve learned in a fun, social setting.
Groups are kept intentionally small (2–4 students) to ensure every child receives personal support and meaningful feedback from their tutor.
How often should tutoring sessions be scheduled?
For the best results, we recommend 2–4 sessions per week.
Short, frequent sessions help children:
Build fluency and accuracy more effectively than infrequent or marathon sessions
Retain skills between lessons
Stay engaged and confident in reading
Each session lasts 25 minutes, providing focused, purposeful practice while keeping your child motivated.
Our tutors can help you create a schedule tailored to your child’s needs and family routine.
What materials are used during tutoring sessions?
Our tutors primarily use the proprietary Accomplished Reader Program, which is delivered through Google Slides. These lessons include explicit sound instruction, word lists, blending practice, fluency activities, and short comprehension exercises. Tutors may supplement with printables or online reading tools when appropriate, but all materials remain aligned with our structured literacy approach.
Can parents observe tutoring sessions?
Absolutely! We want parents to feel confident and informed about their child’s learning.
Parents can:
