What reading help actually looks like

One story outperforms fifty program cards. Here's what families experience when funding meets expert intervention.

"I'd been Googling 'help for dyslexic kids' for two years and spending $200 a week on tutoring that wasn't working. I had no idea Arizona had an ESA program — nobody at his school ever mentioned it. ReAid walked me through the whole application in one sitting. We got approved for over $10,000 and started Orton-Gillingham sessions the same month. After about three months, my son read a full chapter book out loud to me for the first time. I just sat there and cried."

"We applied to the NC ESA+ program on our own and got denied. I was devastated — I knew my daughter needed help but I couldn't afford $150 an hour out of pocket. ReAid helped us reframe the application around her educational therapy needs and resubmitted with the right documentation. Approved within a week. She's five sessions in now and already sounding out words she couldn't touch before."

📅
Typical Timeline
Most families see measurable reading gains within 8–12 weeks of starting structured literacy intervention.
📖
What Sessions Look Like
45–60 minute sessions, 2–3x per week. Your specialist follows an Orton-Gillingham sequence — each lesson builds on the last.
📊
How You Track Progress
Your ReAid parent dashboard shows session notes, milestones reached, and upcoming objectives — updated after every session.

What is Orton-Gillingham? And why does it work?

If your child has been struggling to read — despite effort, despite tutoring, despite trying harder — the method matters more than the hours put in.

Orton-Gillingham (OG) is a structured literacy approach developed specifically for students with dyslexia and reading differences. Unlike generic reading programs, OG is multi-sensory, systematic, and sequential — it teaches the brain to decode language using visual, auditory, and tactile pathways simultaneously.

Every ReAid specialist is OG-certified. Your child's funding covers real intervention — not tutoring, not worksheets — the clinical standard for reading differences.
