Success Story
Samuel Stanley
'Our 11 year old son Samuel is dyslexic and has had
great diIfculty learning to read and spell and has
poor phonological awareness.
We have been working with the Family Literacy
Center Program Ior 4 months and Samuel has made
signifcant progress over this time. The program
teaches good reading strategies Ior children who
have diIfculty with language and we have Iound it
to be an interesting and successIul program.
One oI the best things about it is that you can accu-
rately and quickly determine the areas which cause
the most diIfculty and then address these areas with
the program.
Samuel has had Iun while learning and has been
keen to use program. A little time spent each day
having Iun on the computer has made learning more
Iun and less stressIul Ior him, and he can do it at
his own pace. His younger sister, who has no learn-
ing diIfculties, has also used it and her reading has
become more accurate and fuent.
