Reviews

  • My son has dyslexia and we have tried several different reading programs over the years. When Liza evaluated my son, she acknowledged the great skills he had and talked about the holes in his reading skills. I was looking for a program that could fill in the holes and help him succeed. Liza tailored the program to fill in his holes while also moving him forward. I appreciated that because other programs wouldn’t advance him because his words per minute weren’t fast enough. Emily is a great tutor! She engages him, even on days he doesn’t want to engage. She is able to pull in reading materials that interest him and is always positive and encouraging. I would highly recommend blooming reading to anyone who’s child is struggling with reading.

  • My 3rd grader always looked forward to going to her tutoring class and in just a summer we were able to raise her reading level from a 2nd grader to an early 4th grader! We love that our kid can go into 3rd grade with great reading confidence!

  • My son has truly enjoyed his time with Liza. She is professional and caring. She makes learning fun in particular for the students that may struggle. She's a top-notch choice for anyone looking for someone to improve their child's reading ability.

  • My daughter struggled with reading from day one! It never came super naturally. We have read every night together since she was a toddler. When she was put into the reading program at school in 3rd grade, she was devastated. As much you want to avoid the stereotypes, she still felt like a “dumb” student. I decided to take more action and hired an outside reading tutor. I am so glad I found joyfully read! It is an investment, but an investment your child will reap so many benefits from. My daughter drastically improved her reading skills (from 3rd to 6th grade level in 2 months) which has drastically improved every academic aspect in her life! She is confident, reading instructions better, which is making everything at school easier. Highly recommend!

  • I just want to say how much we liked Liza! She was so encouraging and patient but with the perfect balance of “take no guff”. In my 14 years of parenting it’s something I really value in a tutor/teacher/coach because it can be very hard to find and execute that balance. She was wonderful!

  • I have really enjoyed working with Liza for tutoring. My daughter has had a really nice time and we're looking forward to working with her until we finish the program:) It's worth the cost of the program!

Here’s exactly what to expect

  • Meet with Liza to find out exactly where your child is. Our assessment helps us understand their current reading level and any knowledge gaps, so we can build a plan that's tailored just for them.

  • We'll find a time that works for your family. Sessions are always 45 minutes twice a week. They are typically held Mondays & Wednesdays or Tuesdays & Thursdays. We offer in-person sessions in Santaquin, UT or Payson, UT or online from wherever you are.

  • Your child will receive a student kit matched to their level, including a workbook, cards, and small books.

  • Your child works one-on-one with their dedicated tutor every session, the same tutor, every time. Progress is tracked every six weeks so your tutor can adjust the plan and keep your child moving forward.

  • Students are expected to move up at least one grade level every six weeks. Whether your child's goal is to catch up, keep up, or fall in love with reading, we're with them the whole way.
