Research-based reading program for struggling readers
Online reading lessons designed for children aged 6–16 with reading difficulties. Our personalized approach helps kids develop reading skills and improve fluency by an average of 33% in just 8 weeks.
Dyslexia does not correlate with IQ. Children with dyslexia may even be smarter than their peers. Difficulties with reading arise because these children interact with language and analyze speech differently. Early intervention with specialized methods is essential to support their learning.

Does your child have dyslexia?
Dyslexia is a congenital neurobiological condition that makes it difficult for children to read. Want to know if your child has dyslexia?
Why do some children find it difficult to read?
Reading is not a natural process. Humans evolved without written language, so children's brains must "rewire" to learn to read. For 80% of people, this process happens easily, but for the remaining 20%, traditional teaching methods don't work. While only 3% are diagnosed with dyslexia, 20% of children experience similar difficulties.
Reading involves two phases: decoding, where readers associate letters with sounds, and word recognition, where they quickly recognize familiar words. Children who struggle with reading may have difficulty with both.
These challenges stem from a neurobiological condition: children with reading difficulties process spoken language differently. They perceive words as a whole, making it hard to break them into syllables, recognize rhymes, or use intonation when reading.
There are many myths about reading, such as that children with visual impairments see letters jumping, or that colored lenses or special fonts help dyslexic readers. However, research doesn’t support these claims.
To read fluently, children with reading difficulties need specialized help. Effective programs focus on five key areas: phonemic awareness, phonics, morphology, syntax, and vocabulary. The program should include tasks for decoding, oral exercises, and reading comprehension.

Parents say
My son's been learning with LukuLab for three years, starting from first grade. Best decision we ever made to help him with his dyslexia. Reading was a real struggle for him. But LukuLab came up with a program just for him and kept tweaking it to fit him better. Now, he reads just as good as most kids in his 4th grade. Sure, there are some specific challenges here and there, but the program keeps knocking them down. I can't thank LukuLab enough. They're our heroes!

Sonya started learning to read online when the pandemic hit. Before, she struggled with her lessons, but the LukuLab program really worked for her. Sonya looks forward to her classes; they’re far from boring, which is priceless. Now, I can say for sure she’s fallen in love with reading and books. She’s developed her own taste for children's mysteries and stories about kids her age. It’s wonderful to see her so passionate about reading.

For a little over a year, my son has been attending one-on-one classes at the Reading Lab, and during this time, we have seen very positive results. His fluency has doubled, his reading has become smoother, he reads with expression, highlights intonation at the end of sentences, and uses commas correctly. In addition to these improvements, my child now has a rich vocabulary that is constantly expanding.

Teaching a child with dyslexia to read by yourself can feel like an uphill battle, mainly because it's tough for a parent to fully understand the extent of their child's struggles or know exactly how to help. LukuLab's teaching methods are crafted in a way that keeps parents engaged in the learning process without having to rack their brains over how to navigate the next challenge their child faces.

Screening for Reading Difficulties in Schools
LukuLab has developed an innovative tool designed for schools to help teachers conduct a screening for reading difficulties. With this tool, teachers can quickly and effectively assess the likelihood of dyslexia in their students, ensuring timely support for those who need it most.
Our tests assess a wide range of reading skills, including phonological, morphological, and syntactic awareness. The report provides a detailed evaluation of each specific skill, an overall test score, and personalized recommendations for improvement.

About
For many years, we have been teaching reading to kids who are unmotivated to read. In our online classes, children improve their academic performance: they practice reading fluently, confidently expressing their own and other people's thoughts, extracting information from complex texts on various topics. We speak to children of the 21st century in a language they understand.
Anna Levinzon, the CEO of Lukulab, is an experienced educator and linguist. She has taught at both universities and schools, and since 2017, she has been leading educational projects that help kids improve their reading, writing, and critical thinking skills. Thanks to her work, thousands of children have made progress in these areas.
In 2020, Anna used her knowledge of linguistics to create the Reading Laboratory, a program designed to help children with dyslexia learn to read. The Reading Laboratory method combines the well-known Orton-Gillingham approach with modern research on child literacy and linguistics.
