Struggling
Readers - Help for Parents
Are
you parenting or working with a struggling reader? You are certainly
not alone! The new NICD report released this year shows that 45% of
the 9 year olds in America are reading disabled - a staggering statistic.
This
page is designed to help educators and parents in their quest for
successful therapy and programs to help get our struggling readers
back on track.
A
special thanks to reading specialist, Nanci Ross* whose assistance
makes this page possible.
