Ignite Reading Closes the Gaps Holding Your Students Back

Watch Ignite Reading Tutoring in Action

Our structured literacy intervention program is designed to close students’ foundational reading skills gaps. Ignite Reading tutors work 1:1 with the same student daily on a series of early literacy skills. 

Every virtual tutoring session includes tutors modeling, students practicing independently, and lots of opportunities for celebration. Students get repeated practice and are assessed for proficiency before moving on to master the next skill. Take a look!

We Help Students Become Readers, Step by Step

  1. Baseline Assessments

    Our highly skilled tutor educators use diagnostic tools to conduct a baseline assessment of every student. This determines where students will start in the sequence of foundational skills.

  2. Daily Tutoring

    Our tutors work with students in one-to-one, virtual tutoring sessions for 15 minutes every day. We help schools find the best time and place for sessions, typically during the literacy block.

  3. Regular Progress Monitoring

    We progress monitor students after every 14 lessons. Ignite Reading literacy success partners hold regular data meetings with school and district leaders and teacher teams and give teachers actionable data on each student’s skill gaps.

  4. Getting to Graduation 

    Once a student passes all of their foundational skills lessons and graduates from our structured literacy program, another student can take their seat mid-year at no additional cost.

What we saw over and over again was the academic confidence that Ignite Reading built with our students.
The confidence was really just so empowering.

We Manage Every Step of Your Reading Tutoring Implementation

How we start:

  • We assign each partner an onboarding success manager who helps schools with rosters, logistics, technology setup, and parent communication to get Ignite Reading up and running.

  • The program kicks off with a dress rehearsal week for students to meet their tutors, practice transitioning to tutoring, and learn how to log into their sessions.

  • We conduct baseline assessments to determine which students belong in the program and confirm where they should start their individualized instruction.

New districts can start with a small pilot program to get to know Ignite Reading before rolling it out more widely.
