Services & Rates

Extended Tutoring
Our Extended Tutoring program is ideal for students who need consistent, structured instruction in reading and/or math throughout the school year and/or summer.

  • In reading, we use EBLI (Evidence-Based Literacy Instruction) to build strong decoding, phonemic awareness, spelling, fluency, and comprehension skills.

  • In math, we incorporate Focus Math with hands-on and multisensory strategies using manipulatives that strengthen number sense and foundational skills.

 

Summer Skill Sessions

Our Summer Skill Sessions are designed to prevent the “summer slide” by helping students retain and reinforce what they’ve learned. These short-term sessions are perfect for boosting confidence and preparing for the upcoming school year—without the commitment of year-round tutoring.

Preschool/Kindergarten Readiness

For children entering Pre-K or Kindergarten in the fall, these sessions provide a gentle boost in early literacy and math skills—building confidence and readiness for the classroom through playful, intentional learning. Available in-person only. 

 

Enrichment
For students who are ready to stretch beyond the standard curriculum, we offer enrichment sessions focused on higher-level thinking, creativity, and problem-solving across subject areas.

 

Fees: $60 for 60 minutes

45 and 30-minute session options are available.

Online Class
Teacher Helping Student

Our in-depth assessment is a comprehensive evaluation designed to uncover a student’s strengths and areas of need in reading or math. We work one-on-one with your child to administer a variety of tasks and assessments tailored to pinpoint their current skill levels and learning profile. These assessments are not just about identifying what a student can or cannot do but also about understanding the underlying factors that influence their academic performance.

 

During a reading assessment, we measure phonemic awareness, decoding skills, fluency, spelling, and Rapid Automatic Naming to determine how well your child is processing and understanding written language.

During a math assessment, we evaluate number sense, computational skills, problem-solving strategies, and conceptual understanding of mathematical principles.

 

After the assessment, we compile all the findings into a detailed, user-friendly report that includes:

  • Performance Analysis: A breakdown of how your child performed on each task or test.

  • Interpretation of Results: An explanation of what the results mean in terms of your child’s academic abilities and potential challenges.

  • Recommendations: Specific strategies and goals for addressing identified areas of need and supporting your child’s learning progress.

 

This report is designed to be both informative and actionable, giving you a clear picture of your child’s academic profile. It can also be a valuable resource to share with your child’s school teachers, specialists, or other support teams to ensure consistency in addressing their needs. 

 

The in-depth assessment process involves a one-hour session with your child, followed by a thorough analysis of the results and preparation of the report. 

Fee: $150

This includes the assessment session, full analysis, and written report. While optional, most families find this assessment incredibly helpful in shaping effective support strategies at home and at school.

Dyslexia Screening

In-Depth Assessment

Teacher and Pupil

Screening for dyslexia is an important first step in understanding and supporting your child’s reading and writing development. At Roots & Wings, we use the Tests of Dyslexia Comprehensive (TOD-C), a research-based, comprehensive screener developed by leading experts in the field of reading and learning differences. The TOD-C is designed to assess a wide range of skills related to dyslexia, offering a well-rounded view of your child’s literacy profile.

Our dyslexia screening helps to:

  • Identify early indicators of dyslexia

  • Highlight your child’s strengths and areas that may need support

  • Evaluate key literacy skills, including letter recognition, phonological awareness, rapid naming, oral language, and decoding—skills that are foundational to reading success

While a screener like the TOD-C does not provide a formal diagnosis, it can determine whether your child is at risk for dyslexia and offer valuable insight into how they learn best. This information can help you make confident, informed decisions about next steps—whether that includes structured literacy tutoring, requesting school-based accommodations, or pursuing a full diagnostic evaluation.

Screening Fee: $200

Educational Advocacy

Meeting at the office

Navigating the school system to secure the right support for your child can be challenging. We offer advocacy services to help families understand their child's educational rights and effectively communicate with schools to ensure their needs are met.

 

While we do not provide legal services, we can:

  • guide you through the IEP and 504 processes 

  • attend meetings (in person or virtually)

  • review educational documents, provide feedback, and assist in advocating for appropriate services.

 

If legal action is necessary, we can refer you to an educational attorney.

 

Advocacy services are complimentary for extended tutoring students and their families.

For students not attending Roots & Wings for tutoring, advocacy services start at $75/hour.
