No matter the starting point, your child can grow by leaps and bounds.

Our son reads quite fluently now and handles grade-level literature without assistance. He has a great set of tools to decode words that stretch him and most importantly he believes he can navigate any text.

Our son is now in 8th grade, has an A in his English class, and is growing into a confident and articulate young man!

When our daughter was in second grade she was unable to read. At Dyslexia Rx she learned to read at grade level quickly. Now she is a senior in high school, thriving and getting ready to go off to college next year!
