Why We Do It
Reading Services of Arkansas (RSA) is a literacy therapy organization rooted in expertise, compassion, and an unwavering belief that every child deserves to experience the freedom that reading unlocks — building confidence one word at a time.
RSA provides specialized, evidence-based literacy therapy for struggling readers, children with dyslexia, including those navigating the foster care system. Through
one-on-one intervention, school partnerships, and collaboration with families and related services, who support the whole child, not just the skill.
We believe no child's story should be limited by their ability to read one. We show up for the kids who've been overlooked, misunderstood, or simply never had the right support — and we don't stop until they find their footing, their confidence, and their voice.
