			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Children  with dyslexia need help and that is what we, at the Children&#8217;s Dyslexia Center of Allentown, are doing today. Our mission is to help  your children. Our Children&#8217;s Center is located in Allentown. Interested  in learning more about all the Children&#8217;s Dyslexia Center&#8217;s <a title="Children's Dyslexia Center, Inc." href="http://www.childrensdyslexiacenters.org/" target="_blank">click here</a>.</p>
<p>Reading  and writing are two of the most critical skills we can teach  our  children. Children with Dyslexia have difficulty with these 2  skills.  Our mission to help children learn to read and <span id="more-33"></span>write. Below is  more  information on the center.</p>
<p><strong>Comments</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>The parents of our children are so grateful to the Scottish Rite Mason&#8217;s program. Here are some remarks:</p>
<p>&#8220;The Center has been a very positive place for my child to come to.  The support has made him feel equal to the other children he attends  school with. I hope the Program never ends, the need is so great. Thank  You.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s ironic that our school systems don&#8217;t even acknowledge dyslexia,  or let alone provide a service for this program that affects nearly 20%  of the school population. Thank goodness for the Scottish Rite Mason&#8217;s  foresight and generosity in providing such a wonderful service for our  children. My son improved his reading level two two grade levels in 50  hours of tutoring at the Learning Center last year. His self-esteem has  gone through the roof! In October 2000, he was chosen as student of the  mouth.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
