Who We Serve
Log House Literacy specializes in supporting young learners during the critical early years of literacy development. We focus on preschool through 2nd grade because these are the years when strong reading foundations are built, the early signs of reading difficulties can be recognized, and timely support can have the greatest impact on a child's future success.
We welcome new students in Kindergarten through 2nd grade for Orton-Gillingham Reading Tutoring. While many of our tutoring students come to us with a dyslexia diagnosis, it is not a requirement. We also work with students who are showing early signs of reading difficulties or struggling to keep up with grade-level expectations, even without a formal diagnosis.
All students deserve reading instruction that is evidence-based and fun, and we invite Rising Kindergarten through 2nd grade students of all reading levels to join us in our one-week Summer Literacy Camps.
Who We Are
At Log House Literacy, our literacy specialists share a commitment to helping young learners build strong reading foundations through individualized, evidence-based instruction. We believe that meaningful relationships are at the heart of effective teaching, and that understanding each child's unique strengths, challenges, and learning style is just as important as knowing what to teach. Our goal is not only to help students develop strong literacy skills, but also to nurture the confidence, curiosity, and resilience that help them see themselves as successful learners.
Our team brings advanced education, specialized training in evidence-based literacy instruction, and a commitment to ongoing professional growth. Together, we continually deepen our knowledge through collaboration, professional learning, and the latest research in the Science of Reading so we can provide the highest quality instruction for the students and families we serve.
