About

Our one-on-one reading program uses a proven “back to the basics” method developed by Cliff Ponder, founder of the elite Academic Associates® Reading Course. Over 230 centers and schools have practiced this methodology across the United States and in many countries around the world. Students who go through our program typically gain two to four reading grade levels in as little as 30 to 60 hours.*

Students are gently led through a series of easy steps. Using the right phonics approach, students will read correctly and efficiently. As they read, they are taught simple, effective techniques for understanding what they read. Reading becomes a logical and uncomplicated process. If this sounds simple, it is!

*Students generally receive instruction at least twice a week for one hour per session.

Since 2005 we have enjoyed working with students who have great potential for academic success but have not been given the proper tools to be good readers. In a very short time beginning readers or those who have been struggling, become confident and capable readers.

    Robin was truly amazing. She was extremely patient, persistent and determined in supporting my son. She gave him the building blocks he needed and changed his entire future in school.

    I liked that my daughter learned how to read under a year. She struggled for years in the school system. My daughter loves books now. Thank you again!

    This reading program is amazing. As kindergartners, our kids expressed the desire to read. Through some friends, we found this program and went in for an assessment. Robin explained the process and both my husband and I were intrigued by it. The program teaches the rules of reading - not just memorizing words. Robin did not required a long term contract and we thought lets give it a try.
    Both of our children went through the program in about 10 months (2 sessions a week). The results were amazing. After the first month we saw results.
    They learned to decipher words based on the rules. Many times these were not words they have ever seen or heard off. They used the rules Robin taught to sound out the words - think phonetics with a lot more muscle. Some of these words included: curmudgeon, illustration, immunization, and pretentious. My kindergartners could read these words because they followed the rules - comprehension and understanding followed.
    As a result of the program, both kids became avid readers early. I wished schools would incorporate this system in their curriculum as it truly give kids the tools to learn how to read, eliminating any frustration along the way.

    I have known Mr.Steve Blaha and his wife Mrs.Robin of Academic Associates for well over 3 years now.
    My son needed improvement in comprehension & vocabulary and so we joined steve’s school. Mr.Steve runs classes from his home for various kinds of students based on their need,
    current skillset etc. We found Steve’s teaching to be completely “one-on-one, focused on each child” and works with their pace.
    My son found it very helpful. His confidence has grown by leaps and bounds.He has improved so much in Vocabulary and Comprehension and also pronouncing the words correctly when reading a book.
    He continues to learn under Steve today.
