• At The Learning Loop, we believe every child is capable of growth when learning is thoughtfully designed and delivered with care. We provide personalized, research-based instruction in reading, writing, and math to help students build strong foundations and confidence.

  • DIAGNOSTIC-PRESCRIPTIVE APPROACH:

    We start by understanding each child’s current skills, then adjust instruction based on ongoing progress.

    WHAT THAT MEANS: Every child learns differently. Instead of using a one-size-fits-all program, we take time to truly understand how your child learns, what skills are solid, and where support is needed. Instruction is tailored specifically to your child, not a grade level or curriculum timeline. As your child grows, instruction grows with them.

    HOW IT WORKS: We begin with informal benchmark screenings and observation to identify your child’s strengths and areas of need. Using this information, we design targeted lessons that are explicit, systematic, and supportive. Progress is monitored regularly, and instruction is adjusted in real time, ensuring your child is always working at the right level, with the right support, for meaningful growth.

  • EVIDENCED-BASED PRACTICES:

    Both Mrs. Shannon Reagan and Mrs. Tammy Rice are trained in the Orton-Gillingham approach through the Institute for Multisensory Education.

    WHAT THAT MEANS: Your child’s instruction is grounded in methods that are supported by research and proven to be effective, especially for students who struggle with reading and writing. Orton-Gillingham is a structured, systematic approach that teaches skills in a clear, logical sequence while engaging multiple senses to strengthen learning and retention.

    HOW IT WORKS: Lessons are explicit and carefully sequenced, building from simple concepts to more complex ones. Skills are taught directly, practiced repeatedly, and reviewed regularly. Instruction integrates visual, auditory, and hands-on components so students actively engage with the material and develop strong, lasting foundations.

  • COMPREHENSIVE TOOLS:

    We also integrate UFLI (University of Florida Literacy Institute), multisensory math practices, and The Writing Revolution for a well-rounded foundation.

    WHAT THAT MEANS: We use a thoughtful blend of trusted tools to support reading, writing, and math development in a connected way. This ensures students are not only building isolated skills, but developing a strong, balanced foundation that supports success across subjects.

    HOW IT WORKS: Instruction draws from UFLI to strengthen phonics, decoding, and foundational literacy skills, multisensory math practices to build conceptual understanding and number sense, and The Writing Revolution to support clear, organized thinking and written expression. These tools are intentionally selected and combined based on each child’s needs, allowing instruction to remain flexible, targeted, and effective.

The Learning Loop Philosophy:

Tailored Strategies. Tangible Results.

At The Learning Loop, our philosophy is simple: instruction should be as individual as the child receiving it. We believe meaningful progress happens when teaching is intentionally designed around a student’s unique strengths and needs.

Our work is rooted in research-based practices, careful observation, and ongoing assessment. We build skills step by step, adjusting instruction as children grow, so learning is purposeful and effective. We also believe relationships matter. When children feel safe, understood, and encouraged, they are more willing to take risks—and that’s when real growth happens.

Working With The Learning Loop:

Clear Support. Meaningful Progress.

Working with The Learning Loop is a collaborative and transparent experience. Families are true partners in the process, with clear communication, thoughtful explanations, and regular insight into progress.

Students experience structured, supportive sessions that are tailored to their needs and designed to build confidence and independence. Instruction is focused, engaging, and responsive—always guided by data and adjusted to ensure continued growth.

At The Learning Loop, tailored strategies lead to tangible results—and learning becomes an empowering journey for both students and families.

  • We primarily support students in Pre-Kindergarten through 6th grade, though older students may be considered on a case-by-case basis.

  • We begin with benchmark screenings and informal assessments to understand decoding, encoding, fluency, comprehension, writing, and math skills. Instruction is then tailored based on those results.

  • We use Orton-Gillingham methods (IMSE), UFLI Foundations, Heggerty, Multisensory Math, and The Writing Revolution. Lessons follow a structured, evidence-based sequence.

  • Most families choose 2–3 sessions per week for optimal growth, but we create a schedule that works for each child.

  • Yes. Parents receive regular communication, skill summaries, and data that show growth over time.

  • Absolutely. We work closely with classroom teachers, special educators, OTs, SLPs, psychologists, and learning teams to support consistent goals.

  • In-person sessions are preferred due to the multisensory nature of our instruction.

  • Sessions are typically 45–60 minutes. Frequency and duration are determined based on age, stamina, and the intensity needed.

  • We ask for 24-hour notice for cancellations when possible, and we do our best to reschedule missed sessions depending on availability.

  • Since starting with The Learning Loop, I have seen a huge leap in my son’s reading ability- so much so that he is now independently reading at grade level after just a few months. The best part is, he loves to go!

  • On behalf of the Ragosa family, I am writing to share how much we continue to value the wonderful experience of working with Tammy Rice and The Learning Loop. Mrs. Rice’s thoughtful approach to teaching has made a significant impact on Ryan’s confidence and academic growth, particularly regarding her reading and writing abilities. Thank you for everything you do and for the positive environment you have created for Ryan’s development.

  • Mrs. Rice and Mrs. Reagan have been a tremendous support for our son. They have worked with him for 2 plus years in the school setting and now at The Learning Loop. They have always gone above and beyond finding fun ways to keep him engaged while still providing excellent reading and learning support. Their methods are innovative and personalized. They keep my son engaged and interested in learning. They provide helpful feedback and clear goals for him to continue being a successful reader and student.
