The risk of waiting is too high – and reading challenges are preventable!
Research has proven that addressing reading problems early prevents them from happening later.
- Risk of reading challenges can be identified in pre-readers
- With early and effective instruction, over 90% of children will become readers
- ½ hour of instruction in Kindergarten is equivalent to 2 hours in 4th grade

Why choose EarlyBird at Home?
Unlike traditional tutoring, our intervention can be used 7 days a week, at a time convenient to your family. We teach fundamental skills not often taught in schools. These skills are essential for children with dyslexia and reading challenges and also benefit all pre-readers.
Starts Early
Research shows that early intervention can prevent the risk of dyslexia. The path to reading starts even before Kindergarten and an early understanding of sound patterns in spoken language helps your child crack the reading code.
Personalized
Your child will build the phonological awareness and language comprehension skills needed to be ready to read. With a personalized learning path and rewards system, they will master activities often used in intensive intervention and tutoring.
Data Driven
For parents, EarlyBird at Home shows progress through easy-to-understand reports and a customized action plan created by literacy experts. Parents can see progress after the first week!
Includes the EarlyBird Assessment
With your EarlyBird at Home subscription, you receive the award-winning EarlyBird Assessment for free. This includes a comprehensive look into your child’s literacy strengths and weaknesses.
