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 foundational skills.
Every 15-minute session includes tutors modeling, students practicing independently, and lots of opportunities for celebration. Students get repeated practice and are assessed for proficiency before moving to the next skill. Take a look!
We Help Students Become Readers, Step by Step
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.
Our Structured Literacy Curriculum
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, either in class or in a separate staff-monitored room.
Ignite Reading Tutor Qualifications Regular Progress Monitoring
We progress monitor students after every 14 lessons. Ignite Reading literacy specialists hold monthly data meetings with school and district leaders and teacher teams and give teachers actionable data on each student’s skill gaps.
Data We Provide 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.
Bring Ignite Reading to Your District
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.

Our daily, 15-minute tutoring sessions take place in one of two settings:
In-Class Virtual Tutoring
Ignite Reading students stay in their classrooms and use noise-canceling headphones to focus on their tutoring sessions. Sessions are usually held during the independent reading block so teachers are free to pull other students for small groups as part of a multi-tiered system of support (MTSS).
Out-of-Class Virtual Tutoring
Schools designate a location where all Ignite Reading students can participate in tutoring sessions, with an on-site staff member assigned to monitor them.
We Manage Every Step of Your Reading Tutoring Implementation
How we start:
We assign each partner a customer 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.
