The news of this leading-edge school opening in Sacramento is so amazing for the community and long overdue! My niece was finding it challenging to learn at the same pace as other kids, so my sister had to do a lot of her own research to get to the real root of it. The reality is, there wasn’t (and usually isn’t) appropriate diagnosis or support for children with dyslexia. Moreover, the “one size fits all” system in most state schools doesn’t work for everyone.
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! They use an evidence-based curriculum and have truly passionate teachers, which helps students develop both academically & personally to reach their highest potential. You can reach out to schedule a tour now too, they’re finally open!

READ Academy is changing lives!!! So grateful we now have a school in Sacramento that really knows how to help dyslexic children thrive!!!

I am so thankful for Read Academy. After moving from Atlanta, where my son was in a OG based dyslexic school I was having a hard time finding a school that stayed current on all the new breakthroughs in DYSLEXIA. Having a child diagnosed “twice exceptional”. I needed to find a school where dyslexic based reading skills would know only be taught in reading but continue throughout all the subjects. We also required a school that keep him active in Math, Science. The staff and teachers not only have the continuing education regarding dyslexia but they understand that each student is unique with different abilities. They used evidence-based curriculum and techniques to bring each student to their highest potential. We drive 35-45 mins each way, because it is best school for my student.

Read Academy has changed my son’s life. He told me he’s learned more about reading in the past two months at Read Academy than he learned in all 7 years at our public school.

My son enrolled in READ Academy as soon as it opened, and we could not be happier. He is thriving thanks to the teachers and staff who support his academic and personal growth. READ Academy provides a nurturing environment where students can grow into empowered and confident learners.

When we first toured the school our daughter was very resisten to the change. Now that she has been there for the summer program, as well as, a regular school year she LOVES it. She has gone from not wanting to go to school, to thriving. Her confidence is higher, not just in school, but also socially. The small class sizes are imperative for learning intervention to work. The reading teachers knowledge and curriculum is so strong. The classes are engaging. The staff is warm, welcoming, and easy to communicate with. I cannot recommend READ Academy enough!

After a year in the day program, my daughter has blossomed, improving academically and behaviorally while developing self-confidence and independence. She has gone from feeling frustrated and helpless to enthusiastic. She has gone from avoiding reading, guessing words, and making spelling errors such as spelling swim “siwm” to learning the logic of the English reading and spelling. I can tell that the teachers and staff care about her and sincerely view us parents as partners which is a huge deal. They provide excellent reading and writing support but also understand that many dyslexic children need support in other areas as well, which they happily provide.

My son started at READ in January 2021. Opening Day! For the first time in his academic experience (he’s 11), he has a lot to tell me about how he’s learning and what he’s learning. He’s really thriving. He’s eager to go to school, engaged with what and how he’s learning and overall a happier child. The school is following COVID protocols so well. I feel like they are all very careful.

Great new school!

Couldn’t be happier with the curriculum and staff. They work with each individual student and ensure they are getting the help they require!!!

I enjoyed it a lot. Thank you!

It was insightful and helpful to have an opportunity to walk in the shoes of our two children who are dyslexic. It gave my husband and I a better understanding of how we can help support our children not just in school but in day to day living. If you have a dyslexic kiddo I would highly recommend taking the time to walk in their shoes through this class.

Very interesting experience and presentation! Would certainly recommend to anybody that has, teaches or loves a child with a learning disability.

Enjoy the constant communication with the school. After 3 weeks, I see a substantial improvement in how my son approaches his education and he is sharing how he learns with us.

Sacramento has a school for children with dyslexia and they “get it”. My husband found this school by google searching while I was preparing for another useless IEP meeting. A month later my kid is being taught by people who understand him and have resources and authority to adjust to his needs. I am so grateful.

Read Academy has changed my son’s life. He told me he’s learned more about reading in the past two months at Read Academy than he learned in all 7 years at our public school.

This was a great experience for our old son to learn about his siblings challenges. It opened his eyes to what a dyslexic individual goes through.

I really liked being able to have the teachers talk about what they do and how it’s different

Excellent presentation! Really helped me to better understand what a dyslexic person deals with daily.

This school has been the biggest game changer for my daughter. She had previously written off the idea of attending college because of her struggles with school. She has not only excelled at Read but is talking now about which colleges and majors she is interested in! She loves the teachers and has never been so positive about school before! We are so grateful for Read!

Even though our kid started late this year, we are happy our kid was welcomed at READ. Thank you Leah for making my daughter’s transition smooth. We look forward to the new school year.

Amazing group of educators dedicated to helping dyslexic kids thrive in school.

My son enrolled in READ Academy as soon as it opened, and we could not be happier. My son is thriving due to the teachers and staff who support his academic and personal growth. READ Academy provides a nurturing environment where students can grow into empowered and confident learners.

Sacramento is very fortunate to have a small school that can educate children with dyslexia, dysgraphia and/or dyscalculia.

Amazing! I am so impressed. My son, Grayson, loves going to school again and is excelling. Grayson’s confidence is back.

Great School

The teachers and staff are the most caring you’ll ever find. The confidence they foster in our kids is invaluable.

She loves Read Academy so much, she begged me to tale her to summer school! The teachers get her.

Read educators know how to teach our student in a way he understands and enjoys.

It was very pricey but it made me sooo happy that my dyslexic son finally got to learn in a way that worked for him, I was a little disappointed there was a pe period when the price tag was soooo expensive but my son loooved it— overall if he’s still below grade level in writing next year, which seems likely, we’ll probably do the program again

Mason really enjoyed it this summer at READ.

Great teachers and the Principle Is wonderful.

I appreciated the patience and time to explain the details of the Assessment, a tour of the facility and acting as a partner to support my Childs needs.

So far we are loving READ ACADEMY and so thankful this is available to our daughter. We feel like the weight has been lifted off of our shoulders and she’s in the best place possible to succeed.

I thought it was a great talk and very helpful. Thank you!

Terrific presentation – very helpful information from true experts in the field

My child is getting appropriate academic support at Read Academy and is succeeding.

This school is helping my child achieve a better future.

We found READ Academy after our emergency IEP failed to address our child’s lack of progress in learning to read, write and do math. Our child had been suffering emotionally and we were concerned. NGL the first week was rough, but the adults at school rolled with a rocky transition, And they didn’t make us feel bad. Now we are more than a school year in. We have a carpool with a couple other students and we are seeing this little group thriving. Dyslexic kids are wonderful, special people and we are so, so grateful to be here. Much love to the staff. As a new school, there are growing pains. Fortunately, we feel welcome to communicate with administration and teachers to improve things as they come up. Finally, I look forward to seeing the dyslexia community become closer, in part, because of this school.

I am writing this to express my sincerest gratitude for all the help and support you have provided to my daughter, Autumn. Your school has been a blessing for her, especially after struggling for so long with dyslexia in a public school. Since Autumn joined your school, she has made incredible progress, both academically and personally. She feels comfortable and happy at your school, and her self-esteem has greatly improved. I cannot thank you enough for the care and attention you have given to my daughter. I am especially grateful to Mrs. Shelley, who has been a great source of inspiration and motivation for Autumn. She adores all her teachers and looks forward to attending school every day. Thank you, Leah, for giving us the opportunity to be a part of your school. We appreciate all the help and support you have given us along the way. Your dedication and commitment to your students’ success are truly admirable, and we are grateful for everything you have done for Autumn.

I wish it was 5 days a week for more learning for the kids

Our son who has dyslexia was struggling as a fourth grader, to say the least, with Common Core teaching in our local elementary school. Currently as a fifth grader, he is thriving at Read Academy of Sacramento. His confidence is growing not only in reading and writing, but he is also trusting in his learning environment. Our only regret is we didn’t enroll our son earlier in Read Academy.

Great school, teachers and staff. This school has been a great fit for our son. The school staff is also very good about communicating. My only suggestion is if we could have more electives, like art, for the students.

Read has been a game changer for my daughter. The teachers and staff are wonderful and my daughter loves school, which I never thought I would hear from her. I couldn’t recommend this school more!

Since our son started going to The, Read Academy, his behavior has improved his reading and writing has improved tremendously. The teachers and staff are amazing.

Great school. Son went to summer school and tutoring. Both were a positive experience. After every session, my son is in a great mood, feeling positive, and continues to make reading progress. I would absolutely recommend the program.

Transitioning from Homeschool to Read Academy, I thought it was going to be a very hard transition for the both of us. However, it was a very smooth and easy transition. My son Caleb absolutely love’s Read Academy, his Teachers, Friends, and the Administration ! Prior to Read Academy Caleb was very shy, withdrawn struggled with reading and was very quiet. Just after 1yr, my son has grown by leaps and bounds socially, academically and as an independent learner. Caleb and I both love the Read staff and the Wilson Learning program. I wished, I would have discovered Wilson’s Learning Program and Read Academy years ago as it would have taken the struggle out of reading for my son. My son has went from, struggling to read to reading with ease by the end of his first year at Read. Now, my son loves to reads and absolutely loves to go to Barnes & Nobles to get new books! We owe everyone at Read Academy a very big Thank You for helping Calebs to grow beyond his limits!!

Just visit… watch the teachers interact with the students in the classroom. They just love these kids- they nurture them. From the first call with Ms. Shelly at the front and tutoring to Leah with her kind words and encouragement and insight to education My kid regained his educational spark and loved it there. Even the pick up lines are run efficiently and with care! Just Amazing

We wanted to express our heartfelt gratitude for creating such a welcoming and nurturing environment for our daughter. Your dedication to providing her with the necessary resources to learn and grow is truly appreciated. We have witnessed the positive impact your academy has had on her educational journey, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Thank you for fostering a love for learning and for making her feel valued and supported. With sincere appreciation, Kelly

Read Academy has provided excellent support to my student. I appreciate the dedicated teachers that provide a supportive environment where my child can thrive to do their own personal best. Thank you READ.

This is honestly the best school ever for a child with dyslexia! I’m so glad I found it! My son has dramatically improved in every aspect of his growth and education since enrolling here.

My grandson continues to learn and make progress, and more importantly likes going to school now whereas before READ Academy he loathed going to school.

I’m so grateful for everything they have done for my daughter. I love this school.

Read Academy has helped our son grow tremendously in his academic performance as well as his social confidence. Thank you Read Academy for offering a safe place to learn and grow for our children!

My daughter has grown so much in the month that she has been at READ. Her confidence in her ability to learn and even explain the things she is learning. She was experiencing head aches, stomach issues on a daily basis, since being at READ we have not had any head aches or stomach aches. She is excited daily to go to school and be a part of a community that understands her, where as previously every day was a struggle to go to school. Teachers have been so welcoming and encouraging in each step for her. They respond timely to each email and are encouraging to myself and Abby.

So far my experience has been great with the READ Academy. My son has made some great strides within the 2 months he’s been attending the school. I look forward to seeing how far he’s grown at the end of the school year.

My daughter has improved so much in so many ways at Read Academy. She’s thriving and happier now that she’s not lost and behind the rest of the class. Thank you!

This place has been the best experience for my son. More growth in one month than two years of our assigned district school. Whether or not your child has a dyslexia diagnosis, but is below grade level performance standards, send them to Read. Reach out to education advocates and/or lawyers. There are ways to afford the tuition. Make it happen for your kid. Literacy is a right and unfortunately the public school system does not guarantee this. Make it happen for your kid.

Thanks for all the great work you do!

My daughter attended Read Academy for two years as a freshman and sophomore as well as summer school. It made all the difference in helping her get caught up to grade level in reading and writing. She then transferred to a local charter high school and will be going to college next year. I highly recommend Read Academy and am so grateful in helping our daughter become the student she is today!

When we first toured the school our daughter was very resisten to the change. Now that she has been there for the summer program, as well as, a regular school year she LOVES it.

Our 7th grader has been attending Read Academy for less than two months and we’ve already seen a massive sea-change in his personality and outlook. He’s not only happier he has more confidence about his academic abilities. He sees himself as a good student now, and he’s developed good homework habits. We don’t even have to remind him to do his homework anymore. He’s excited to tell us about what he’s learning at school, which he didn’t do when he was in public school and he was just struggling to keep up. He used to be so withdrawn and overwhelmed that he could barely engage in conversation with us, but now he’s eager to talk to us at dinner about ideas and science and history. Thank you for giving our happy child back to us, Read Academy!

After a year in the day program, my daughter has blossomed, improving academically and behaviorally while developing self-confidence and independence. She has gone from feeling frustrated and helpless to enthusiastic. She has gone from avoiding reading, guessing words, and making spelling errors such as spelling swim “siwm” to learning the logic of the English reading and spelling.
