Hindman Settlement School’s Dyslexia Intervention Program services children and families from across the region through school-based, after-school, and summer tutoring programs to help remove the barriers students face achieving grade-level reading. Our team recently received this note from the parent of one of our students, Caroline, who has been participating in several aspects of our program. Read about Caroline’s tremendous success in her mother’s own words.
“My daughter has struggled in school since her first year of kindergarten. Last year she felt disheartened when all her friends received honor roll awards while she did not. I finally had her screened for dyslexia and enrolled her in the Summer Tutoring Program at the Hindman. I began to notice right away that she was learning so much in a short time.
After summer school ended, Caroline was eligible for daily tutoring as part of Hindman’s Reading Lab located within her school. During my annual meeting with her teachers to discuss her progress, they were astonished at how much she had improved over the summer and quickly asked me what I had done to facilitate such progress. I was happy to share all about the Summer Tutoring Program and how great it is!
Caroline has gained a lot more confidence and developed a love of reading! Just this week, she brought home her first report card filled with A’s and B’s. Thanks to the Dyslexia Program at Hindman Settlement School, she may receive an honor roll award this year like her friends!”
If you’d like to support the life changing work that happens every day in our Reading Labs, each week in our after-school tutoring program, and over the course of the summer through our intensive five-week summer school, you can make a gift to the Dyslexia Program Scholarship Fund to ensure that every child facing barriers to reading can succeed!
