Comments

The parents of our children are so grateful to the Scottish Rite Mason’s program. Here are some remarks:

“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.”

“It’s ironic that our school systems don’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’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.”

• Provide, free of charge, the highest quality multisensory reading and written language tutorial services for children with dyslexia through our network of nationally recognized centers of excellence.
• Provide and encourage education of tutorial trainees, professionals, and the public, to become resources in teaching children to read.
• Advance the body of scientific knowledge of dyslexia through support of clinical research, to improve today’s standards and tomorrow’s care.

This mission is carried out free of charge, without regards to race, color, sex, creed, sect or Masonic affiliation.

Since the Allentown Center opened in 1998, over 150 children received tutoring services. After 2 or 3 years of specialized one-on-one tutoring, most children are reading at a grade level and graduate from the program. The Center has also trained over 75 tutors in the area, science and practice of tutoring children using the Orton-Gillingham approach.
