Unlocking Literacy with the Florida Reading Scholarship
Reading is the gateway to lifelong learning, but when students fall behind, catching up can feel overwhelming. That’s where the Florida Reading Scholarship comes in. Designed to support students in grades 3–5 who scored below grade level on state English Language Arts (ELA) assessments, the scholarship offers $500 annually to help fund essential services like tutoring. At Tutero, we specialize in 1-on-1 online reading instruction tailored to each child's needs, turning reading challenges into growth opportunities. Whether your child is struggling with decoding, fluency, or comprehension, our expert tutors provide structure, encouragement, and results—right in line with Florida standards and the scholarship’s guidelines.

Who Qualifies and How to Use the Reading Scholarship
The Florida Reading Scholarship is open to third through fifth graders enrolled in public schools who score below Level 3 on their ELA Florida Standards Assessment (FSA). Families can apply through Step Up For Students, and once approved, receive a $500 education savings account to use toward approved reading services. Tutoring, curriculum, and instructional materials are all eligible. Tutero’s programs are fully compatible, making it simple for families to direct their scholarship toward impactful tutoring sessions. We also assist with reimbursement documentation and scheduling, so families can focus less on paperwork and more on their child’s progress.
Absolutely fantastic service! Tutero has transformed my understanding of maths. My tutor Jesse is incredibly knowledgeable and patient. I couldn't have asked for a better experieance.
Very impressed with everything. Took the time initially to understand my daughter’s neeads and my motivations for tutoring. Tutoring has been excellent and very affordable. Highly recommend.
Emily has been such a great tutor for our daughter in year 6 for maths. She has gained confidence and a better understanding of math concepts with her organized and practical lessons!
My son absolutely loves his weekly lessons with his Tutero tutor Tristan. To quote my son, he says that he is a 'really good teacher' and 'makes learning fun.’
I cannot recommend Tutero enough. They have done an incredible job matching the tutor to my children’s unique learning styles. The progress they've made is remarkable.
I've used Tutero for 4 months so far for my Year 9 son. It's seriously been nothing short of a miracle! My son does his tutoring without complaint and his grades have improved significantly.

Personalized Reading Tutoring That Gets Results
Every child learns at their own pace—and Tutero embraces that. Our reading tutors assess each student’s abilities in fluency, vocabulary, phonics, and comprehension, then design a learning plan that meets their specific needs. Whether your child is decoding basic words or working on deeper understanding of texts, our 1-on-1 approach ensures targeted support. We keep sessions engaging with interactive tools, real-world reading materials, and strategies proven to build literacy. This personalized support helps students build confidence as they master skills step by step. For Florida Reading Scholarship recipients, that means getting the focused help they need—when and how they need it most.
Aligned with Florida’s Literacy Standards and FAST Testing
Tutero’s reading instruction is carefully crafted to align with Florida’s B.E.S.T. Standards and supports students preparing for Florida Assessment of Student Thinking (FAST) benchmarks. Our tutors help students meet and exceed grade-level expectations in ELA by reinforcing core reading skills like identifying the main idea, making inferences, and understanding text structure. This alignment not only improves classroom performance but also ensures measurable gains on state assessments. Our programs are designed with Florida’s curriculum in mind, offering families peace of mind that their child is making the right kind of progress—grounded in what schools actually teach and test.
Support That Works for Busy Families
Struggling with reading often affects more than just grades—it can chip away at a student’s confidence. That’s why Tutero’s reading programs focus not only on skill development but also on building self-belief. Tutors create a safe, positive space where students are encouraged to take risks, make mistakes, and celebrate small wins. By reinforcing effort and growth, our tutors help children shift from “I can’t” to “I’m getting it.” This mindset change is crucial for long-term literacy success. Parents frequently report that after just a few sessions, their child is more willing to read aloud, try new books, and even enjoy reading again.

All sessions are live, interactive, and accessible from any device with internet access. No traffic, no waiting rooms—just expert instruction from the comfort of your home.
