Family Testimonials

Adicionar el programa Literacy lab a la rutina estudiantil de nuestros hijos ha sido una experiencia educativa y social muy beneficiosa.

Honestamente una experiencia ganar-ganar donde nuestros hijos han avanzado significativamente en lectura comprensiva, pensamiento crítico y gramática.

Sunnyside Literacy Lab lo vemos como un lugar seguro para nuestros hijos crear proyectos,compartir ideas y emociones.

Escuchar nuestros hijos decir lo que parecía al principio retador ahora es más fácil y pueden completar sus tareas con éxito, nos llena de orgullo.

Como familia nos sentimos afortunados de haber conocido la profesora Anna pues con su vocación y profesionalismo nos guía en el proceso a sacar más provecho al programa, y nos invita a enfocarnos en disfrutar el camino.

My son who was diagnosed with dysgraphia and ADHD, was reading 2 years below reading level and his writing was completely disorganized. After 3 months with Anna, every one of his middle school teachers reached out to me to praise his progress. She truly is a miracle worker!!

She cares and has a gift connecting with her students. She’s just the right blend of firm and nurturing. Her words are always encouraging and my son has gone from doubting himself to having the confidence to share his writing. Most importantly he’s proud of himself!

Our family came across Sunnyside Literacy Lab through a recommendation of a family member, and creating this connection has been the highlight of our year in 2025.

Early in the year my younger sister was evaluated for dyslexia.

From the start, the care and attention to meet my sisters academic needs has been incredible. Anna Young’s positive energetic style of teaching has kept my sister engaged.

My sister does not look at literacy as a bore but as something she is excited and always looking forward to in her tutoring sessions. Our family has been astonished with the improvement my sister has shown in such a short span of time.

All of the work being put to assist my sister at a financially reasonable cost is worthwhile; so much so that we plan on continuing with my sister’s tutoring entering the new year in 2026. We certainly recommend Sunnyside Literacy Lab to anyone seeking academic growth for their young ones.

I have been searching for a program like Sunnyside Literacy Lab for my children, aged 8 and 6, to boost their decoding and reading fluency.

The Word Study course has met my expectations, focusing on phonics, morphology, and fluency.

Through its use of the Orton-Gillingham method, a research-based multisensory approach, the program makes reading accessible and engaging for learners challenged by reading and spelling.

My children are improving and gaining confidence in their reading abilities.

Desde hace 3 meses mi hija asiste a Sunnyside Literacy Lab, durante estos meses ha mejorado sus habilidades de lectura y comprensión, también se muestra más segura, confidente y positiva consigo misma y en su escuela.

Agradezco a su profesora Anna por su valioso trabajo con mi hija.

We started with the Sunnyside Literacy Lab to help my then–kindergarten-aged son maintain his reading skills over the summer.

He not only sustained his reading skills, but screened above benchmark in phonics in his diagnostic at the start of first grade.

I’ve also noticed that stronger literacy skills have made math word problems easier for him, which I wasn’t expecting but am so grateful for.

The sessions are relaxed, engaging, and very hands-on, so my son is always happy to go!

Despite having an IEP, my son was not getting all his needs met, no matter what we tried. He also was burnt out since covid, and no longer wanted to read. My avid reader now hated reading anything and everything.

I spoke with Anna on an intake call in mid-August 2024. She took time to hear all my concerns and worries. We started at the beginning of the school year, and I am so grateful for his Sunnyside Literacy Lab class.

My son likes to read again! He also began writing again and learned some great organizational writing tools that carried over into school. His ELA grade has gone up, and his ELA teacher noticed he is participating more and doing his work with less push back.

I cannot thank Anna enough for helping build his skills and confidence in reading and writing.

As a new parent to a preschooler, I’ve had concerns about my son’s attention span and media diet.

I attended a workshop at Sunnyside Literacy Lab to learn more about “Creating an At Home Reading Culture.”

I entered the space and was greeted by a cozy living room. We learned how to create a book nook, routines, ways to affirm and how to have discussions.

I feel more confident starting our journey to literacy and recommend this workshop to any family.
