Making Math Real
Hi! This was recommended to us for our 9 year old (rising 4th grader) but I cannot find any information about it online and only very old post on BPN. The website www.makingmathreal.org does not seem to work. Does anyone have info on this program and/or know a tutor trained in it? Thanks so much!

Hi! They use it in certain places for dyslexic kids, such as Hope Academy in Concord, which also teaches the Slingerland approach to structured literacy for K-8 kids. From what I've been told, the owner of this company unexpectedly passed away, and with him, so did this methodology very, very unfortunately. Apparently, no other place is allowed to offer training, and this program and all its knowledge is kept and shared between people who have previously trained with him. Anyhow, there must be people who are trained in it, but if you are considering a specialized dyslexia school, at least there are options there.
Hi,
Perhaps you’ve found a teacher by now but just in case… my 10 year old daughter’s tutor teaches the Making Math Real program. She’s a kind and patient tutor and has helped my daughter build her skills and her confidence.? She teaches from her apartment near Berkeley high. I can check with her and see if she’s ok with me sharing her contact info, or I’m happy to pass yours on. Let me know.
