Say the grade, the subject, what the school has said (a low test score, a retention warning, a 'progress monitoring plan'), and your county. In a few seconds you get the free supports that fit — from the school, the state, the library and the community — and the letter that asks the school for its plan. No account. Nothing stored.
Free — takes 20 seconds
Grade, subject, what the school has told you (FAST scores, a retention letter, a progress-monitoring plan, a teacher's note), your county, and anything relevant — English as a second language, a suspected learning difference, a school that's Title I.
Why this exists
A child behind in reading is owed intensive intervention and a written plan; a high-schooler who failed Algebra is owed retakes and remediation; the state funds tutoring accounts and the library pays for online tutors. The family that asks in writing gets it. This writes the ask and lists the free help.
How it works
Subject, what the school said, your county. Nothing is saved.
The plan you can demand, the state accounts, the library and clinics — in English or Spanish.
The request for the plan and data, the evaluation request, the New Worlds checklist and the at-home routine, in the school version.
Plans
The licence is for the school, PTA, library or church that wants the bilingual family pack with its name on it.
Your school's or library's name and programs pre-filled; printable family packs with the request letters, the New Worlds checklist and the at-home routines in English and Spanish.
For a PTA, a church family ministry or a community group that wants every family to know what the school owes and where the free help is.
Free for individuals, always. Licence prices in USD, handled by Stripe.
Common questions
Under Fla. Stat. 1008.25, a K-3 student (and older students per district policy) with a substantial reading deficiency must get intensive reading intervention, and you must be notified in writing and given a read-at-home plan. If your child is a 3rd grader scoring at the lowest level on the state reading test, retention generally applies unless a good-cause exemption fits (alternative assessment, portfolio, ESOL with less than two years of instruction, certain ESE students, prior retention), and the district must offer a summer reading camp. This tool explains the requirement in plain language — confirm your child's actual data and plan with the school.
It's a state-funded account (Fla. Stat. 1002.411) for eligible K-5 students with a reading deficiency, meant to pay for tutoring, materials and programs. You apply through the scholarship funding organization, not through this tool. There's also the separate New Worlds Reading Initiative, which mails free books to eligible K-5 students — check eligibility and how to apply with the program itself.
Yes — for a parent using it, Free Tutoring Finder FL is free, always, and the tool states that nothing you type is stored. The paid plans listed ($99/month for schools & libraries, $49/month for PTAs & churches) are subscriptions for organizations that want to run the tool for their community, not a cost to you.
A good letter is dated, names the student, grade and teacher, states your concern and any data you have, and asks for the current assessment data, the progress-monitoring or intervention plan (what, how often, by whom), the read-at-home plan, any tutoring or camp the school offers, and — if relevant — the EOC retake/remediation schedule or an ESE evaluation. Ask for a meeting and a written response by a stated date. The tool can help draft this letter, but it doesn't send it or track the school's response.
Students who fail a required end-of-course exam like Algebra 1, or the grade-10 ELA assessment, get retake opportunities and remediation, and a qualifying SAT/ACT/PSAT concordant or comparative score can also satisfy the requirement (FDOE — Graduation requirements & assessments). For 3rd-grade reading retention specifically, several good-cause exemptions may apply. This tool cannot tell you your child's actual score or which exemption applies — confirm both with the school.
Según el Fla. Stat. 1008.25, un estudiante de kínder a 3.er grado (y estudiantes mayores, según la política del distrito) con una deficiencia sustancial de lectura debe recibir intervención intensiva de lectura, y a usted se le debe notificar por escrito y entregar un plan de lectura en el hogar. Si su hijo está en 3.er grado y obtiene el nivel más bajo en la prueba estatal de lectura, generalmente se aplica la retención, a menos que corresponda una exención de buena causa (evaluación alternativa, portafolio, ESOL con menos de dos años de instrucción, ciertos estudiantes de ESE, retención previa), y el distrito debe ofrecer un campamento de lectura de verano. Esta herramienta solo explica el requisito en lenguaje sencillo; confirme los datos y el plan reales de su hijo con la escuela.
Es una cuenta financiada por el estado (Fla. Stat. 1002.411) para estudiantes elegibles de kínder a 5.° grado con una deficiencia de lectura, pensada para pagar tutoría, materiales y programas. La solicitud se hace a través de la organización que administra la beca, no mediante esta herramienta. También existe, por separado, la New Worlds Reading Initiative, que envía libros gratis por correo a estudiantes elegibles de kínder a 5.° grado; verifique la elegibilidad y cómo solicitar directamente con el programa.
Sí — para un padre o madre que la use, Free Tutoring Finder FL es gratis, siempre, y la herramienta indica que nada de lo que usted escribe se almacena. Los planes de pago que aparecen ($99 al mes para escuelas y bibliotecas, $49 al mes para PTA e iglesias) son suscripciones para organizaciones que deseen ofrecer la herramienta a su comunidad, no un costo para usted.
Una buena carta lleva fecha, indica el nombre del estudiante, el grado y el maestro, expone su preocupación y los datos que tenga, y solicita los datos de evaluación actuales, el plan de monitoreo del progreso o de intervención (qué, con qué frecuencia, quién lo hace), el plan de lectura en el hogar, cualquier tutoría o campamento que ofrezca la escuela y, si corresponde, el calendario de repetición/remediación del examen EOC o una evaluación de ESE. Pida una reunión y una respuesta por escrito antes de una fecha indicada. La herramienta puede ayudarle a redactar esta carta, pero no la envía ni da seguimiento a la respuesta de la escuela.
Los estudiantes que reprueban un examen final de curso requerido, como Álgebra 1, o el examen de ELA de 10.° grado, tienen oportunidades de repetirlo y de recibir remediación, y una puntuación concordante o comparativa calificada del SAT/ACT/PSAT también puede cumplir el requisito (FDOE — Graduation requirements & assessments). En el caso específico de la retención por lectura en 3.er grado, pueden aplicar varias exenciones de buena causa. Esta herramienta no puede indicarle la puntuación real de su hijo ni cuál exención aplica; confirme ambas cosas con la escuela.
