How It Works
The Reading Lodge Experience
The Reading Lodge is designed as an enrichment experience, not a remedial or tutoring service. Our program is built for children who are ready to build strong reading skills early, in a joyful, screen-free environment rooted in structured literacy. The Reading Lodge is a hands-on, in-person experience at our Park City center.

Drop-Off Format
A Place Just For Children
The Reading Lodge is designed as a drop-off program. Parents bring their Explorer to the door, hand them off to a Guide, and return 60 or 75 minutes later. No parental participation is required during sessions, and that’s intentional. When children aren’t managing a parent’s proximity, they can settle, take risks, interact with their peers, and engage more fully in learning. The Reading Lodge is a literacy enrichment program—not a school—designed to complement your child’s education with intentional, hands-on reading instruction in a supportive, screen-free environment.

Schedule
Two Days. One Journey
Explorers attend two 60-minute sessions per week. Session times and days will be announced as we finalize our Kimball Junction location. Join our list below to be the first to know when scheduling opens. The program runs for 14 weeks in cohorts, meaning every Explorer begins and completes the journey with the same group of children.

Group Size
Small Groups. Big Attention.
Sessions are limited to 10 children, allowing Guides to know each Explorer well and provide the individual attention they need. Groups are thoughtfully formed around a similar age range and emerging literacy skills, creating an environment where children can learn together, participate confidently, and build relationships with their peers.

Learning at Home
Keep the Learning Going at Home
Learning doesn’t stop when an Explorer leaves The Reading Lodge. Parents receive the songs, materials, and books their Explorer is using in sessions, making it easy to reinforce learned skills at home between visits. No prior knowledge of phonics is needed. The resources are designed to be simple, playful, and enjoyable for parents and children to use together. Just a few minutes of practice between sessions can make a meaningful difference in how quickly new skills become secure.
