About Reading Roots Academy

Our Mission

At Reading Roots Academy, our mission is to empower children from Pre-K to 5th grade with the foundational skills of reading through evidence-based techniques and personalized support. We are dedicated to nurturing a love for reading, bolstering self-esteem, and enhancing academic achievement, thereby creating a ripple effect of confidence and success that extends beyond the classroom. By providing tailored resources and fostering a strong partnership with families, we commit to turning reading into a gateway for life-long learning and personal fulfillment.

How We Are Different

Our uniqueness truly is our commitment to adapting our methods to each student's unique learning style and pace. We don't adhere to a one-size-fits-all curriculum; instead, we use a blend of adaptive coaching techniques, individualized lesson plans, and differentiated instruction to ensure every learner's needs are met.

At Reading Roots Academy, we are systems-driven. We rely on a structured framework encompassing assessments, goal-setting, tailored instruction, regular progress monitoring, and consistent updates. This systematic approach ensures that every step of the learning journey is tracked, understood, and optimized for the best outcomes.
