Get in Touch
Every Great Journey Starts with Mastering the Basics
Every student can learn to read with the right instruction. Ignite Reading’s one-to-one, virtual, Science of Reading-based tutoring closes K–8th graders’ decoding gaps to get them caught up fast. In just 15 minutes a day, our expert tutors teach students the foundational skills they need for a lifetime of independent reading.
How We Turn Students into Skilled Decoders
Differentiated Instruction
We pair every student with a highly trained reading tutor who teaches into their precise decoding gaps for 15 minutes daily. Students get the differentiated instruction, volume of practice, and repetition they need—and a caring tutor who builds their confidence.
Proven Curriculum
Our Science of Reading curriculum is a National Council on Teacher Quality exemplary resource written by reading researchers. Systematic and fully scripted, it helps students master phonological awareness, decoding, and word recognition so they can go from learning to read to reading to learn.
Data-Driven Approach
We use baseline diagnostics, curriculum-embedded assessments, and progress monitoring to identify each student's skill gaps and track their growth. A dedicated literacy specialist conducts in-depth data meetings with your school leaders and teachers monthly, giving teachers actionable data to differentiate instruction for every student.
Our Results
No Achievement Gaps Across Key Demographics
During the 2022-2023 school year, students achieved an average of 2.4 weeks of progress for every week in the Ignite Reading program.
Ignite Reading is one of the most, if not the most, successful interventions we have implemented in our district. The student results and program design are indisputable.
