Our Mission

Children’s educational success is based on their ability to read and comprehend.  Those who cannot keep up with the reading required in school will slowly get “left behind” making it more difficult to succeed in later grades.

Literacy Builders is founded upon the principle that there is no such thing as one size fits all education.  In order to effectively teach all children, we must sometimes teach them differently.  Finding the best method and approach for your child is our specialty.

We believe that every child can be taught to be better, more effective readers and writers.  We also feel that a child’s reading success requires family involvement.  At Literacy Builders we work with you to eliminate the pain from reading and writing.   Learning should always be a positive experience.

Children learn best with expert guidance.  Expert guidance requires knowing your child as a reader and writer.  Our approach begins with learning about your child’s abilities. Once we understand the difficulties, we then create custom tailored plans that significantly increase the amount of time children spend reading.  This plan, the reading or writing Rx, will be the prescription for improving your child’s literacy skills. 

Since, “A person who won’t read has no advantage over one who can’t read,” we aim to make your child want to read.  We know that increasing the amount a person reads, reading more often, and reading the right books set children on the path to better reading and writing.  Literacy Builders is committed to providing expert guidance.  We believe that with the right support, we can ensure success.
