Turn your child into a reader

Turning into a reader is a complex and unpredictable process. With Turn, we make that transformation joyful and predictable.

OUR OUTCOMES

Our program is uniquely outcome-based, meaning we continue working with your child until these outcomes are achieved — regardless of your child's pace or starting point.

AT A GLANCE

..."That's generous," Amy said. Tom had given her the last bun. "You can have it," he said. "I am not that hungry." Mom had a big bag. In the bag were buns, jam, juice and crisps. "It is a good day for a picnic," said Dad....

HOW TURN WORKS

Your child follows our proprietary research-backed sequence of phonics rules, while we continuously track the key metrics most programs overlook, so instruction stays hyper-personalized and adapts in real time as your child grows.

Your child takes one 30-minute private lesson each week with a Turn Specialist, either online or in-person.

You receive unlimited enrichment for all of your at-home reading needs, custom-built for your child's unique learning profile.
