Frequently Asked Questions
Certified Wired for Reading is a research-based literacy program designed to help students develop strong foundational reading skills and comprehension strategies. The program focuses on decoding, fluency, and understanding text at deeper levels, making it especially effective for students who struggle with reading or need targeted support to advance their literacy skills.
Students who benefit most include those with dyslexia or reading difficulties, struggling readers who need systematic phonics instruction, and students looking to improve reading fluency and comprehension.

During your first session, a tutor will assess your current reading level, identify specific challenges, and understand your goals. This diagnostic approach allows the tutor to create a personalized learning plan tailored to your needs, whether you're working on phonemic awareness, decoding strategies, or reading comprehension.
Tutors use the Certified Wired for Reading framework to provide structured, systematic instruction combined with personalized feedback. Sessions typically include targeted skill-building exercises, guided reading practice, and strategies for tackling challenging texts—all adapted to your learning pace and style.
