You’re in the Right Place
We see you. We see your love for your child. We see you want the best for them. We see your hard work and your dedication. When your child is struggling to develop critical literacy skills, we can help them overcome the obstacles in their way.
How to Help Your Child
We’ve been in your shoes, and empowering your child to conquer the challenges they face in learning to read feels overwhelming. Where do you start? Right here, with The Lucy Project.
Get an Assessment
By understanding your child's strengths and identifying where they struggle, we individualize their experience, whether in small groups or one-on-one. You also get a written report that you can share with educators supporting your child, too.
Join a Program
Structured Literacy lessons are fun, interactive, and responsive to your child’s progress. With a reading remediation program a few times a week, your child will practice and master the fundamental skills that make for strong readers.
See Results
It’s so much more than seeing better report cards and reaching grade level. Literacy empowers. As they gain confidence, your child will believe in themself as much as you believe in them. Watch them realize their full potential.
Effective, Individualized Support – Anywhere
We follow your child’s lead while drawing on decades of experience
Our learning specialists break reading and spelling down into smaller skills and help your child build on them over time – in person or virtually. These multi-sensory teaching strategies, informed by the Science of Reading, move everyone forward and are extremely effective for students with dyslexia and other reading-based learning difficulties. We're the only Miami literacy organization with Structured Literacy Master Trainers on staff, and we’re different than any dyslexia tutor in Miami, or anywhere. Most importantly, we celebrate your child's unique learning style.
Affordable, Flexible Options
We’ll guide you to the program that fits your budget and your life
The Lucy Project’s specialized support is available to children and families in South Florida. If your child is a good fit for virtual learning, The Lucy Project can help anywhere in the US. To make every program affordable, your family’s annual income determines the cost per session in any program.

Stephanie, a Lucy Project Mom
"The Lucy Project is amazing in so many ways. My son did not show progress for many years until he began meeting with his tutor through their program. He has been with TLP for almost 1 year. He also really struggles to sit still and focus, but he absolutely loves his tutor and the activity- based sessions. His self-esteem has skyrocketed and he finally feels like there is hope."

Charlene, a Lucy Project mom
“After a year in The Lucy Project and being retained in 3rd grade, Chloe made the honor roll for the 1st time! She was so happy to be able to share the honor roll spotlight with her sisters at school. Chloe has always had great self-confidence and does not let her reading disability hinder it. She is very aware of her dyslexia and has no issues self-advocating when she doesn’t understand something. I am just as proud of her as she is of herself.”
