Results from real families
In Jacqueline's 30 years of teaching, full attendance gets results
Show up to every session, on time, and follow the plan — and you can expect roughly one reading level of growth in these two weeks. That's the standard Jacqueline has seen hold true across three decades in the classroom. Every child's starting point is different.
Middle school is hard enough socially without falling behind in reading
The gap doesn't close on its own. "Hope" is not a literacy strategy. Every summer that passes without structured support is another year of compounding — more embarrassment, more avoidance, more "I'm just bad at school."
Use the rest of this summer to turn "I'm bad at school" into "I've got this."

The Diagnostic
Two minutes, reviewed by a real person — we find exactly where the gap is before instruction starts.
The Summer Sprint
We match your child to the right group, then payment is collected once fit is confirmed.
The Result
For students who attend every session, roughly one reading level of growth — and a kid who walks into school confident, not dreading it.
If you've said any of these things, keep reading
"They're heading into middle school and still struggling to read out loud"
The gap compounds every year.
Middle school is when reading follows them into every subject — math, science, history. Every class, every assignment, every moment of being called on. Summer is the last clean window before it becomes part of their identity.
"We've already spent money on tutors and nothing changed"
Tutoring manages homework. It doesn't fix roots.
Most tutors help kids get through tonight's assignment. That doesn't touch the missing foundation — the phonics, fluency, and comprehension skills that should have been built years ago. That root gap is exactly what this program rebuilds.
"I don't want another program that feels like babysitting"
Max 5 students. Certified teacher. Structured sequence.
There is nowhere to coast and every reason to engage. A real certified teacher runs every session against a planned sequence — not a worksheet stack, not supervised screen time. Your child will be seen, tracked, and pushed forward every single day.
Why this works when other programs haven't
Targets the missing phonics, fluency, and comprehension skills — not just tonight's assignment.
Every group is capped at 5 students, never more — a real teacher who knows their name and tracks every session.
Monday through Friday, 45 minutes a day — built to produce a measurable shift before the first school bell.
30 years in the classroom across New York City, Westchester County, and Georgia — every SBT instructor is state-certified and trained by Jacqueline herself, never a marketplace hire.
Explicit, research-backed instruction in phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, and comprehension — never guessing.
Every other option charges by the hour.
We charge a flat rate for a complete program.
10 sessions of certified, Science-of-Reading-credentialed tutoring at the national average would cost $847.50. SBT charges $597 — and your child gets a certified teacher, max 5 students, and a structured sequence instead of homework help.
