Why Summer Could Make or Break Your Struggling Reader’s Progress—and What You Can Do About It
Let’s talk parent-to-parent for a second.
Summer’s supposed to be a break—for your kids, and let’s be honest, for you too. But while we’re enjoying the slower pace, there’s something happening under the radar that could set your child back before the next school year even begins.
It’s called the summer reading slide—and it’s a real thing.
What Is the Summer Reading Slide?
The “summer slide” is when students lose the reading skills they worked hard for during the school year. The research says the average student loses about two months’ worth of progress over summer break.
But if your child already struggles with reading—or has dyslexia—that number can double.
That means your child could walk into school in the fall already behind. Again.
And the cycle just keeps repeating, year after year. The gap gets wider. The confidence drops lower. And that’s a hard thing for any parent to watch.
Why Struggling Readers Can’t Afford to Hit Pause
For kids who already find reading tough, summer isn’t the time to coast.
Most summer programs are built for the average learner. But your child isn’t average. They need something that’s structured, strategic, and science-backed.
That’s where our reading program is different—and why it works.
A Program Built From the Ground Up—By a Mom Who Gets It
Let me be real with you: I didn’t start this business because I had a good idea. I started it because I had no choice.
Two of my four kids have dyslexia.
And I have it too.
I watched my own children struggle. I sat at the kitchen table night after night, trying to help them sound out words, guessing what to do next. The overwhelm, the tears, the guilt—I’ve lived all of it.
So I created a program that works.
And now, we’ve helped hundreds of struggling readers across the country gain confidence, crack the reading code, and actually start to enjoy learning again.
What Makes This Program Different?
Here’s what you get when your child works with us:
✅ 1:1 or small group tutoring—no cookie-cutter lessons
✅ Based on the Orton-Gillingham approach, backed by the science of reading
✅ Online access—learn from home, on your schedule

This isn’t just reading support—it’s hope, structured in a way that gets real results.
