About us

Meet our founder

Reading Services of Arkansas was founded by Brittney Mills, whose professional experience teaching struggling readers is grounded in her 11 successful years of practical classroom teaching. She has skills and certifications in the latest evidence-based methods of instruction and needs assessment that she uses to chart a custom path for each child’s reading journey based on their personality, needs, support system, and any unique barriers to their learning. No two children are exactly alike, and their literacy plans must accommodate their differences. She is an approved vendor for the Arkansas Literacy Grant and an approved Arkansas Learns provider.

Brittney’s hands-on, frontline experience in education also gave her understanding about the very real struggles even excellent teachers face and expertise in current school processes, laws and the complexities of navigating these systems while making a difference in individual young lives. She’s a natural collaborator and an advocate for students, teachers, and schools.

We're your literacy ally!

We work with…

Schools

We offer contract services so schools can give students personalized attention at the highest value, no employee benefits or extra strain on teachers required.

After-school programs

We offer convenient tutoring services at local after-school programs, so families don't have to add another event or destination to their packed schedules.

Homeschoolers

We offer reading tutoring to individual homeschool families and homeschool co-ops so families can focus on other subjects and leave the technical and critical literacy skills to us.

Families

We offer a wide range of customizable reading services and connections for families who know their child’s reading is not where it needs to be but aren’t sure how to help.

Education professionals

We partner with school administrators, speech and occupational therapists, and after-school directors to create custom plans for individual children and groups.

Our vision

We're working to create a better future for all children in Pulaski County through a focus on the power of literacy education as an equalizer.
