We use structured phonics with proprietary chapter books to systematically teach kids to read.
We combine the best methodologies from nationally-recognized reading programs with the latest brain research.
It’s tactile, it’s fun, and almost ½ of every session is spent actually reading books.
Focused sessions with highly-trained, energetic tutors give your kids the skills and confidence to read.
Just published! Read Untethered, the story of JT Mestdagh, a young man born with a death sentence and severe dyslexia and who is now an entrepreneur and adventurer on a mission to empower people to UNTETHER from limiting beliefs and to soar to their highest dreams. As a child, JT’s parents relentlessly hunted for the right reading program to help Mestdagh learn to read. Nothing worked until in fifth grade when an encounter with Steve Tattum, LearnUp’s Reading Director, and his unique reading program changed Mestdagh’s life forever.

We believe that everyone deserves the gift of reading, regardless of income. So, as a nonprofit, we raise funds to provide scholarships to readers in need.
