Expert 1st grade reading support, built around your child
First grade is when children are expected to become readers — decoding words, building fluency, and beginning to comprehend what they read. The gap between strong and struggling readers often widens significantly during this year.
At Dojo Tutor, our 1st grade reading tutors work 1-to-1 with your child on the specific skills they need. Whether it's phonics patterns, sight words, fluency, or comprehension, sessions are tailored to your child's level with engaging, systematic instruction.
With personalized support during this critical year, your child can become a confident, capable reader.
