Is your child struggling with reading, or have they been diagnosed with a reading disorder? Read-All™ was created by Karen Uschold, founder of Vianney Academy, to help elementary students with learning challenges such as dyslexia become fluent readers.

How it works: three pillars

• Method. A systematic multi-sensory reading program built on the Orton-Gillingham Approach, with an emphasis on phonics and hands-on “doing”. Every sound is taught explicitly through hearing, touch and sight, so students are not left to generalize.
• Habits. Consistent attendance and practice. Missing even one week can set a student back. Classes are held on Zoom, so there is no commute. Your child’s tutor sets a reading schedule, tracks progress and encourages them, and we show parents how to do an easy 10 minutes of daily reading at home.
• Surroundings. Small-group or 1:1 classes matched to your child. Children who need time to build the basics start 1:1, once, twice or three times a week, and move at their own pace. Once the foundation is strong, they can join a small group, twice a week, where learning with children their own age keeps them engaged.

Classes and cost

Class	Length	Cost
1:1 online class	1 hour	$60
1:1 online class	45 minutes	$50
1:1 online class	30 minutes	$40
Small group online class, twice a week	1 hour	$25

1:1 classes include educational therapy as needed, and small group classes are interactive, with educational therapy built in. Every student receives an informal educational assessment to identify underlying issues and find the right class, all lesson materials, and guidance for parents through our exclusive Facebook community.

Subsidies are available. See financial aid and the application form.

What your child gains

Read-All™ is unique in adding educational therapy to traditional tutoring. Students learn how to learn, improving their overall cognitive ability as well as their reading.

• Find the root cause of their learning difficulty
• Read and write at grade level, and reach fluency
• More confidence and self-esteem
• Less dependence on others and on technology
• Connection with other children and families facing similar challenges
• Academic success and a better quality of life

The four steps of the program

Step one: Assessment. Screening and assessment to find the reading level where your child should begin.

Step two: Starter class (Read-All Levels One and Two). Phonemic awareness (all the sounds that words are made of), sound-symbol association (letters and their relation to phonemes), and spelling and semantics (the meaning of written words).

Step three: Advanced phonics (Read-All Levels Three and Four). Digraph mnemonics to help pronounce the “blended sounds” of English, advanced phonemic awareness to sound out multi-syllabic words, and advanced spelling and semantics. By the end of this step your child will be able to read and write complex sentences.

Step four: Grade-appropriate fluency. Consistent review of advanced phonics and phonemic awareness, decoding skills with more advanced vocabulary, and reading mastery: your child masters reading at their grade level or above.

The Vianney difference

The difference is our tutors. They have extensive and rigorous training and certification in our teaching methods, and they know how to identify, address and overcome different kinds of reading difficulties. They are compassionate, patient and kind, and they aim to instill confidence and determination in every student.

Our tutoring is more than a curriculum. It pairs traditional tutoring with educational therapy, which teaches students how to learn and strengthens reflecting, remembering and reasoning.
