Reading Write Alaska

Prior to beginning his sessions with Lynice at Reading Write Alaska, my son had little confidence in his ability to spell and write. Since beginning his sessions with her his confidence has dramatically improved and he is excited for every appointment. Lynice makes the appointments enjoyable for him and is very encouraging to him. Now as a bonus my other child is also receiving help from Lynice. We are so happy to have found this great place!

I can't express enough how amazing Reading Write Alaska is! My son sees Kayla at the center in Wasilla and I have seen such an improvement in his speech in just four short months. Not only has his speech improved greatly but so has his confidence. I would highly recommend taking your child here!

My older son was a struggling reader. At 12 years old he was still only reading at a 2nd grade level. RWA started working with him in the spring of his 6th grade. He is now 14 and is reading on his grade level and has 2 more books with the program and he’ll be graduated. My daughter started with the program a few months ago and her level of interest in reading has skyrocketed. My youngest son is set to start with the program soon. My oldest son is almost done with RWA, he has almost overcome his dyslexia in the sense that it doesn’t hinder his reading or comprehension anymore. I highly recommend this program to everyone who has a reading or writing need. The staff is so kind, patient, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable!

After trying everything under the sun to help our son with reading and writing (pulled out of class for reading, RTI, IEP, vision therapy, homeschooling, back to public school), Reading Write Alaska finally had the answer for why he struggled so much. He has dyslexia and dysgraphia. No one even suggested dyslexia before we came to Reading Write Alaska, but he fit ALL of the symptoms. The results of his work with Kristin at the Wasilla office has been incredible. He has picked up books and started reading on his own for the first time in his life. He has always loved listening to books, but he hated reading unless it was a comic book or graphic novel. I was shocked when I saw him crack open a novel like it was no big deal. Reading Write Alaska has given us an answer. We finally know WHY he struggled, and now we have a program that is actually helping him improve. And the best part is it's five minutes from our house in Wasilla.

Reading Write ALASKA has been such a blessing! The team and experience has provided education, empowerment and advocacy. Our son’s reading and spelling proficiency increases weekly. The Barton program has unlocked his potential and desire for reading. Thank you so much, RWA team!

My daughter Kiera started at Reading Write Alaska the summer after 2nd grade. Not surprising, her year in 3rd grade was a bit of a struggle. Her reading was well below level, her handwriting was worse. She was withdrawn in class, never wanting to read out loud or offer her voice to class discussions. Skip forward two years - by chance, her 3rd grade teacher changed classrooms and is now her 5th grade teacher. This teacher took me aside yesterday to tell me how impressed she is with Kiera! I asked what impressed her and the teacher said EVERYTHING! Her reading is so improved, her handwriting is lovely, she has more confidence in class and is willing to participate. The teacher said I know that some of the things Kiera is working on are more of a struggle for her than they might be for other kids, but Kiera focuses and works really hard on all assignments. I KNOW that a lot of credit for this goes to her tutors, Michelle and Wendy, at Reading Write. What she has gained goes far beyond just her reading level. Kiera has learned that she CAN do anything if she is willing to focus and break it down. She has gained confidence that will last her a lifetime! Thank you so much!

My son sees Kristin in Wasilla. He absolutely loves going to speech. She is very responsive and provides daily feedback about his progress. I've had nothing but good experiences working with the company.

We love our speech therapist. She’s done wonders for our son who was mostly nonverbal 2 years ago when he started there. He is able to communicate very well now. Thank you!!!
