About The Company

Rosedale Readers Learning Centre is a private, personalized literacy tutoring service dedicated to supporting students with diverse learning needs. We specialize in individualized instruction for students in Grade 2 and up, with a focus on reading, writing, and spelling.

Our instruction is grounded in the Orton-Gillingham–aligned, evidence-based approach, designed for students with dyslexia, dysgraphia, and related learning differences. Every lesson is explicit, carefully paced, and tailored to each student's unique learning profile.

At Rosedale Readers, we believe every child can achieve literacy success when given the right tools and support. Dyslexia is not a reflection of intelligence or effort and our students leave the program reading more confidently, tackling schoolwork with less stress, and proud of how far they've come.
