Most students are taught how to sound out words—but not how to think about what they read.
This gap creates challenges like:
"I don't know" responses
Vague or incomplete writing
Difficulty finding evidence
Trouble summarizing
Low confidence in ELA, history, or science
Homework frustration and shutdowns
These aren't intelligence issues. They're strategy issues—and that's what Reading Through Times™ teaches.
A 12-week transformation build around three core pillars:
1️⃣The Meaning Gap Diagnostic Session
Pinpoints exactly where comprehension is breaking down. Parents walk away with a clear plan and actionable insight.
2️⃣The RBTL™ Framework
A five-step thinking process that helps students understand, analyze, and connect ideas.
3️⃣The R.E.A.D.™ Writing Method
A clear, repeatable system for writing evidence-based, confident responses.
Together, these frameworks help students turn reading into thinking, and thinking into writing.
✔️100-200 Lexile point growth
✔️Clearer, more confident writing
✔️Stronger explanations and analysis
✔️Higher grades across subjects
✔️A calmer, more independent learner
✔️Renewed confidence and motivation
This isn't homework help—it's literacy transformation.

Many tutors help students "get through" their homework. It feels good in the moment...until the next day when your child faces a new passage, a new question, or a new writing prompt—and doesn't know what to do.
We don't create short-term fixes.
Our approach creates independence.
We teach thinking systems that your child can use over and over again—no matter the subject, grade level, or assignment.
The first step is booking the Meaning Gap Diagnostic Session—our foundational assessment that brings clarity, direction, and a personalized plan.

"I never thought my daughter would start reading on grade level. But now she says, 'I can sound out those words and read them, Mom!' She has so much more confidence. I had to do what I could to book more lessons with Courtney."
