About Academic Associates Reading Program
Our one-on-one reading program uses a proven “back to the basics” method developed by Cliff Ponder, founder of the elite Academic Associates® Reading Program. Over 230 centers, schools, and private instructors have practiced this methodology in the United States and other countries around the world. Students who go through our program typically gain two reading grade levels in just 30 hours.
Students are gently led through a series of easy steps. Using this effective phonics approach, students will read correctly and efficiently. As they read, they are taught simple techniques for understanding what they read. Reading becomes a logical and uncomplicated process. If this sounds simple, it is!

This happens. The results of the school’s evaluation may be different than your child’s medical diagnosis. It’s also important to remember that school is NOT the final say on your child’s potential. They may offer very little support to your child, underestimate their abilities, or disagree with you on what support your child needs. You will probably need to advocate for the services and support you believe your child needs.
