Studyville’s ReadingImpact™ Foundations high-impact tutoring program delivers 40-45% student proficiency rates, surpassing Louisiana’s 35% state average. Learn how our Science of Reading curriculum drives measurable literacy gains across K-5.
Breaking Through: How Studyville’s In-Person Tutoring Outperforms State Literacy Averages
When it comes to helping struggling readers catch up and excel, the numbers tell a powerful story. Recent data from Louisiana schools using Studyville’s ReadingImpact™ Foundations program shows something remarkable: our tutored students are reaching 38-45% proficiency rates, significantly higher than Louisiana’s statewide average of 35%.
This isn’t just another tutoring program. It’s a complete transformation in how we help students learn to read.
The State of Literacy: Where We Stand
Literacy rates have remained mostly flat, with only about one-third of students reading at grade level. Statewide data shows just a 1-point increase in overall reading scores. But in schools using Studyville’s high-impact tutoring approach, we’re seeing something different:
- 9-11 point growth in a single school year
- Nearly 100% of students showing measurable improvement
- 20-37% of struggling readers reaching grade-level proficiency
These aren’t just numbers. They represent real students tutored through Studyville’s High Impact Tutoring program.
Inside Studyville’s ReadingImpact™ Foundations: The High-Impact Tutoring Difference
What Makes Our In-Person Tutoring Work
Studyville’s ReadingImpact™ Foundations isn’t your typical after-school program. It’s a carefully designed, Science of Reading-based curriculum that delivers results through:
1. Small Group, In-Person Instruction
- Groups of 1-4 students maximum
- Face-to-face interaction with trained tutors
- Immediate feedback and correction
- Personal connections that motivate learning
2. The Five Pillars of Reading Our curriculum systematically builds all five essential reading skills:
- Phonemic Awareness: Hearing and manipulating sounds in words
- Phonics: Connecting sounds to letters and letter patterns
- Fluency: Reading smoothly and accurately
- Vocabulary: Building word knowledge
- Comprehension: Understanding what’s read
3. High-Dosage Tutoring Model
- 30-minute focused sessions
- 3 days per week consistency
- 10-week intensive cycles
- Concentrated instruction that maximizes learning
The Power of Human Connection
Unlike computer programs or apps, Studyville tutors build real relationships with students. They notice when a child is frustrated. They celebrate small victories. They adjust their teaching in the moment based on what each student needs.
Research from the National Bureau of Economic Research shows that high-dosage tutoring can produce gains equal to an extra 3-15 months of learning. Our data confirms this – and shows we’re hitting the high end of those gains.

What School Leaders Are Saying
“This year we were blessed to have a High Dosage tutor through Studyville. Our High Dose tutor has been able to truly impact by being very strategic with the tutoring and meeting the needs of our students and being very intentional with the support provided. We have definitely seen our students grow. Some of our lowest performing students have been able to make gains and fill in some gaps that we would not have been able to have had we not had a High Dose tutor with small groups.”
-Lacy Fontenont – Principal College Oaks Elementary School
“We’ve been fortunate to have Studyville tutors providing high-dosage tutoring at our school. I wanted to take a minute to highlight the wonderful work of one of Studyville’s high-dosage tutors, Ms. Ronniesha Hughes. Ms. Ronniesha has truly become part of our school family this year. Our teachers have constantly praised the positive impact she’s had on their students. Her dedication and commitment are making a real difference in our school.”
