Good Spellers
Confident Students
"Kids Up Reading Coaches has given our rising tenth grader newfound confidence in both reading and writing. ...Daniela Feldhausen and later Crystal McCue ... focused on the basics of word structure, origin, spelling, sound, and meaning – fundamentals that were surprisingly never taught him. Thanks to Kids Up Reading Coaches, our son is now more meaningfully engaged with words and by extension, with reading. His reading comprehension and confidence are high again, and his coaches have put our bright and curious son on a good path. We highly recommend Kids Up Reading Coaches to parents of kids who may find themselves in the same place we were."

Kindergarten
Cleveland Park, DC

"Our 7 year old son was behind in reading and Kids Up has greatly increased his reading confidence. We noticed improvement quickly and he was catching up to his peers in only a few months. He now reads for fun!"
First Grade
Palisades, DC
"I'm not exaggerating in saying I'm amazed at the results. After she'd been in tutoring for about four months, we had her 504 meeting at the school. We all decided she didn't need a 504 plan at all — she is reading at grade level and excelling academically."
Second Grade

First Grade

"Sammie says the tutoring is really helping and she feels more confident reading out loud at school this year."
Second Grade
Chevy Chase, DC
"I thought he would read aloud, but he said he wanted to read to himself. I kind of assumed he wasn't really reading the chapter when he was doing it in his head. But when he said he was done, I asked him to tell me what happened, and he was able to pretty clearly articulate what he had read. I was astonished and proud."
Fourth Grade
Barnaby Woods, DC
"Sam [who worked with Kids Up Reading Coaches 2 years ago] is doing extremely well with his reading at school. Today we got his reading scores, and he is in the 90th percentile."

2 First Graders, a few years apart
Chevy Chase, DC
"Over the summer, I noticed that my daughter (who was going into the 6th grade) was struggling reading fluently and pronouncing certain words that should come easily to someone her age. I searched for reading tutors and found Kids Up Reading Coaches. Daniela and Caitlin worked with her for over 3 months and they transformed her into a strong, confident reader. Her spelling has improved and I can see that she truly enjoys reading now. The team is amazing and I am truly grateful that we found them!"
Sixth Grade
La Jolla, CA
"My 7-year-old daughter is mildly dyslexic, and when she left first grade she wasn't able to read for more than 10 agonizing minutes before giving up, exhausted and upset. She started with Kids Up the summer between first and second, and it turns out she's an avid leisure reader — she just needed her ability to be unlocked. Halfway through second grade, she's reading fluently for a couple hours a day (!)."
Second Grade
Rockville, MD
"[She] is so much improved. She seems to be flying through Diary of a Pug, not getting tripped up on too many words, handling some tricky words well, understanding the story as she reads, and clearly enjoying it with her dramatic renditions."
Third Grade

"Kids Up Reading Coaches worked around our school schedule and was able to not only catch them up to their peers, but also instill a love of reading."
