YokyWorks is a Sound Foundation for Reading.

It's time to stop waiting for children to fail.

Our program targets the signs of reading difficulties like dyslexia before they become a barrier to success. Our dynamic 1:1 sessions are fast-paced, fun, and fully online with explicit, logical, sequential, and multisensory instruction in phonemic awareness and early phonics.

Research shows that reading intervention works best when implemented early. But, there is often a wide gap between the moment children show signs of reading difficulties and the start of intervention. YokyWorks helps close this gap with online early reading intervention, specially designed for children ages 5-7, and remediation services for ages 8 and up. 

 

Take Action. YokyWorks is a Sound Foundation that Works.

Early intervention  shouldn't be hard to find.

 

Our founder, Yoky Matsuoka, struggled for years to find the right intervention for her two children with dyslexia. In this process, she learned about the importance of early intervention and has dedicated her organization to connecting children at risk for reading difficulties with effective solutions. Yoky, who discovered she was dyslexic late in life, envisions a world where parents no longer need to struggle to find intervention for their children before reading becomes a barrier to their success.

Early Intervention is

Failure Prevention.

Don't wait. While all children must receive reading instruction, acquiring the foundational skills required for reading is more difficult for children who are at risk for dyslexia. Research shows that reading intervention is most effective when implemented early, while the gap in reading ability between children at risk for dyslexia and their typically-developing peers is still small.
