Read Write Learning Center

What Read Write Learning Center does

Read Write Learning Center is a privately held educational services company that delivers one-on-one dyslexia therapy, academic language therapy, reading testing, advocacy, and standardized-test preparation to children and teens with dyslexia and other language-based learning disabilities. Services are built on the Orton-Gillingham approach, a multisensory, structured, sequential, and personalized instructional protocol delivered by specialized learning specialists. The core product is the recurring 55-minute therapy session, with a minimum cadence of two sessions per week and recommended cadence of three depending on child needs; complementary offerings include 45–60 minute consultations priced at $80–$105, comprehensive dyslexia testing and screening, IEP/504 advocacy, the structured "Academy" program, a 6-week small-group ACT Prep course for students with learning differences ($750 per student, maximum 3 per group), and free downloadable educational resources that serve as top-of-funnel content.

The company operates a hub-and-spoke multi-site delivery model. Its headquarters is in Daphne, Alabama (Baldwin County), with four additional physical offices: Mobile, Saraland, Montgomery (all Alabama), and a 2023-vintage location in Pensacola, Florida, serving the Florida panhandle. Each branch is staffed with a paired Instructional Lead and Operations Lead, plus a Remote branch overseen by a Director of Branches that delivers live online tutoring to out-of-state families. Distribution is omnichannel: parent-direct scheduling through the website, content marketing via blog and educational downloads, per-location Facebook and Instagram accounts, school-district partnerships (notably Clarke County Schools since 2018), and a parent portal powered by TeachWorks and Sign Up Genius for scheduling and session management. The "Read Write Learning Center®" mark is federally registered.

Commercially, Read Write is structured as an Alabama LLC with no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no external venture or private equity investment, operating as a founder-led organization. Julie Rentz is identified as Founder/Director. The business generates revenue primarily through recurring therapy subscriptions, with ancillary contributions from one-time consultations, testing, advocacy, and ACT Prep. Geographic expansion has occurred organically and incrementally since 2011, with cross-state entry into Florida in 2023 marking the first move outside Alabama.

Scale indicators7 records

Recent moves12 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Huntington Learning Center: Established national tutoring franchise providing reading, math, writing, and test prep services. Comparable on the tutoring and ACT-prep dimensions, though Huntington serves mainstream learners rather than specializing in dyslexia intervention.
• Sylvan Learning: Large national franchise tutoring brand offering personalized learning programs including reading and study skills. Overlaps with Read Write's tutoring and ACT prep categories but as a broad, multi-subject incumbent rather than a dyslexia specialist.

Emerging players

• Nessy Learning: Online platform offering structured-literacy programs and tutoring for students with dyslexia. Competes with Read Write's online tutoring channel through a digital-first, gamified delivery model.
• Reading Horizons: Provider of structured literacy curriculum and intervention tools for struggling readers, including students with dyslexia. Adjacent to Read Write's Orton-Gillingham therapy through overlapping reading-decoding methodology and school-channel distribution.
• Lexercise: Online dyslexia therapy provider pairing students with certified tutors using structured-literacy (Orton-Gillingham-aligned) methods. Comparable to Read Write's live online tutoring offering and represents a capital-light competitive model.

Direct peers

• Bright Side Dyslexia Learning Centers: Multi-location dyslexia learning center offering 1-on-1 structured-literacy intervention and assessment. Comparable to Read Write's clinic-based, individually delivered dyslexia therapy and testing services, though operating in different regional markets.
• Kildonan Educational Therapy Programs: Provider of Orton-Gillingham-based educational therapy for students with dyslexia and language-based learning disabilities. Closely aligned in methodology (structured literacy) and target population with Read Write, though historically concentrated in the Northeast.
• Lindamood-Bell Learning Processes: National provider of one-on-one literacy intervention for students with dyslexia and language-based learning differences using proprietary sensory-cognitive methodologies. Directly comparable to Read Write's specialized, research-based 1-on-1 dyslexia therapy model, though at much larger scale.

Others

• Wilson Language Training: Publisher and trainer for the Wilson Reading System, a structured-literacy program widely used for dyslexia intervention. Comparable as an enabling provider of Orton-Gillingham-adjacent methodology that competing tutoring centers and Read Write's own clinicians may rely on.
• Academy of Orton-Gillingham Practitioners and Educators: Professional credentialing body for Orton-Gillingham practitioners. Indirectly comparable as the standards-setting organization whose certified practitioners staff organizations like Read Write; useful reference point for hiring pipelines and methodology validation.
