Fit Reading
Reading instruction is a cornerstone of education, yet many approaches have led to insufficient outcomes, with 63% of American high school graduates below reading proficiency. Additionally, 15-20% of the population is affected by dyslexia, underscoring the urgent need for effective solutions. While movements like “The Science of Reading” have evolved to address what should be taught, they often overlook how to teach reading to fluency.
What our Learners are Saying
Sending our daughters to Fit was one of the best decisions we made. The coaches are knowledgeable, well trained and effective teachers. They develop amazing relationships with their students. The students love to go there. My daughters had different learning styles and Fit was able to help them both with great results. We tried many other tutors and programs but none produced the results we received from Fit. The one on one attention makes all the difference. I highly recommend this center.

No mere tutoring center, they helped her access learning abilities she'll carry with her, throughout her academic life, no matter the subject, and beyond. The learning coaches, managers and directors are friendly and professional; experts in the science of learning.

Fit Learning not only taught my children to master the core skills they weren’t learning at school, it gave them confidence. Highly recommend!

January 28, 2021FIT Learning Locust Valley has been a game changer for my son as well as my household. The skills he's learned through the one-on-one sessions with talented, patient coaches have improved his ability to communicate and learn effectively. These are skills he will use throughout his school years and life in general. We are so grateful to the coaches at FIT LV for their attentiveness to our son and for helping us get him started on this path before he fell too far behind.
