One of Many Success
Stories:
Learning to read is changing our
daughter’s life. Reading is empowering Jodie to reach her most productive,
vibrant, and independent self. It is opening doors to more learning.
It wasn't always this way... At the end of
kindergarten, our daughter could not even identify basic letters. The school experts could
not identify the problem. You see, Jodie has learning differences.
We wanted Jodie to learn to read – not just memorize a few common words. The Texas
Reading Institute believed she could learn. Today’s good news: she now reads on a
first grade level.
Weekly sessions at the Texas Reading Institute made it all Possible. Assessment identified
the reasons for her struggle reading. A step-by-step plan was developed to teach her the
components necessary for reading. Experienced reading clinicians provided instruction
customized to meet our daughter’s needs. The Institute even taught us how to work
with her at home, to reinforce her learning and to speed her progress and confidence.
As Jodie has become more fluent and confident in reading, she has become more energetic in
the classroom and has assumed greater responsibility for her writing and homework.
The Institute asks your help in providing scholarships for children whose families cannot
afford the specialized instruction their children need.
