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.
