Discover Our Programs at READ Academy of Sacramento
At READ Academy, we empower students to ask insightful questions, explore disciplinary boundaries and confront conventional ways of thinking. We support students with dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, ADHD, and executive function difficulties to excel in their academic skills by providing instruction developed for them and suited to their unique learning style.
This is READ Academy
READ Academy is a WASC accredited private school designed for students who were failing to thrive with reading, writing and math in a public school setting. READ Academy empowers students with dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, and ADHD through evidence-based, multisensory instruction in small group settings. Our structured literacy approach builds confidence and real academic progress, giving families a place where their child can finally succeed.

Thankfully READ Academy is now a place where those who learn differently can go, and finally thrive from 3rd – 8th grade + I hear high school as well in the near future!
