We have provided non-profit literacy and learning programs for children, youth and adults since 1976. Individual attention helps teen excelIndividual attention and “being taught in a way he could understand” has made all the difference for Dale, who came to READ for help in Gr. 8 science and stayed right through to Gr. 11. “It was like a light bulb went off,” says his mom, Jodi. “The teachers at READ treat each child the way they need to be treated to learn,” she says. “All kids are not the same.” Dale has a learning disability that makes it difficult for him to convey his thoughts on paper. Jodi recalls how she agonized over whether she was to blame. “I felt in my heart that I had done something wrong, but the teachers at READ told me it was okay, and it didn't mean Dale couldn't learn.” With individualized attention, Dale's self-confidence soared, and his mom's fears for his future eased. “Education is everything, and Dale excelled with the help he got at READ.” |
