For teachers
Finally, a support that gives every child 15 minutes of 1:1 phonics a day
Once augments your classroom instruction with daily, High-Dosage Tutoring aligned to the Science of Reading — delivered by your school's support staff, not outsourced tutors.
The why
Reading is one of many subjects you're teaching
Your school may have adopted the Science of Reading, but actually teaching it is hard. You need every student to say the same sounds at exactly the same time — and that's not always possible. Assessing oral reading fluency one student at a time is time-consuming, and it's not something you can do every day.
The promise
A support you've never had before
Once gives you a dedicated support staff member delivering 15 minutes of High-Dosage Tutoring to each student every day. Now that your students are getting 1:1 reinforcement of the Science of Reading, you'll see them progress faster and go farther than you could reach all on your own.
The method
Turnkey for the classroom teacher
- We co-design a schedule so every participating student gets 15 minutes of daily 1:1 instruction — without sacrificing core instructional time.
- Students sit with their Once instructor for 15 minutes each day while you work with the rest of the class.
- Sessions are recorded so Once coaches can review and provide feedback, guaranteeing fidelity to the curriculum.
- Instructors meet with expert Once coaches weekly — 20+ hours of Science of Reading PD per year, grad-credit eligible.
