About Us
At Ravinia Reading Center, we welcome students with a wide range of reading histories and challenges. Many families come to us after trying multiple solutions that fell short. Parents frequently hear about our center through word-of-mouth, discovering that their peers' children have experienced remarkable success here. They turn to us when other "solutions" haven't delivered the promised results.
Our Mission
We are dedicated to transforming reading difficulties into successes by staying on the cutting edge of research and tailoring our methods to each student's unique needs. Our goal is to help children achieve more than their families ever imagined possible, equipping them with the skills to excel in reading and beyond.
Why Ravinia Reading Center
The Ravinia difference is evident in our dynamic approach to reading and spelling instruction. We don't rely on a single program or publisher. Instead, we draw from the best resources available and supplement them with materials we've developed ourselves. Our proprietary materials address the gaps we've identified in commercial reading programs, ensuring that our students focus on the words they need to know and encounter in their daily reading.
Our approach bridges the gap between literature-based methods, which can overly rely on guessing, and phonics-based systems, which often focus on less practical words. By emphasizing useful, real-world vocabulary and teaching the structure of our written language, we ensure that our students build a solid, applicable foundation in reading.
We also focus on correct practice. Unlike other programs that may reinforce errors, we ensure that students practice reading correctly from the start. This approach builds confidence and competence, showing students that reading is a skill they can master with the right guidance and effort.
