"Mom, I'm finally learning to read and spell."
That's what one mom's son told her during his summer of one-on-one intensive instruction, every hour of his day, with our team.
She didn't just come from down the road. She traveled from several states away to The Morris Center because she was determined to find her son real help.
By the end of that summer, he was reading and spelling. He could feel the difference it made.

We're here to help where ever a child is starting from and walk alongside your family and figure out what's next, together.
We're glad to be that guide, however far a family has to travel to find us.

Did you know there are peer-reviewed researxh studies showing how to early identify dyslexia ar age 4.

Better yet, there are also independent research studies showing NOW Programs can prevent reading struggles at age 5, with over a 97% success rate!

This is my child walking into his first day of pre-K.

Look at that face. He was excited, confident, and ready to learn. He had no idea that learning to read would become one of the hardest parts of his childhood. Neither did I.

I didn’t know then that years of balanced literacy and ineffective reading instruction would put hurdles in his path that never needed to be there. I didn’t know how much repeated reading failure could change the way a child sees school—or himself.

Intensive, evidence-based intervention eventually helped him overcome those hurdles. He learned to read. He regained his confidence. He became a role model and advocate for others. And he finished high school with that same big smile on his face and a 4.0 GPA.

But it never should have been so hard.

We should not be dimming the light of children like him because we refuse to use evidence-based reading instruction in every classroom. And it should never require due process petitions, lawyers, and litigation for a parent asking for something so fundamental:

Teach my child to read.


Share your stories. They give the next family hope and the spirit to fight.

Expose your budding artists to career accomplished artists who love and share their passion for art and creativity expressed through oils, imagination and creativity - maybe one of these artists is Dyslexic too and your child could use that positive Dyslexic role model?

When the parent quotes IDEA law and the IEP team does not, then “Houston, we’ve got a problem!”

I asked for an IEP.

Instead, I got a crash course in federal law, data analysis, records review, and meeting strategy.

It’s a weird feeling when the only person at the table quoting the IDEA is the parent.

Phonics-only programs aren't wrong, they're just narrow.

At their best, phonics programs teach sound-letter rules and decoding strategies. That's valuable. But it assumes a student already has the underlying sound-processing skills in place, phoneme perception, phoneme production, phonological awareness, to build on.

For a lot of kids (especially many 5- and 6-year-olds), that foundation isn't there yet. So the phonics lessons don't stick, no matter how many times they're repeated. It's not a motivation problem or an effort problem, it's a foundation problem.

Tomorrow, we're showing you the full developmental hierarchy NOW! Foundations for Speech, Language, Reading & Spelling® is built on.

Is your child's reading program building one skill, or fifteen?

Most reading interventions focus on phonics alone: sound-letter rules and decoding. That can help some kids. But for many students, including many with severe reading issues that a phonics refresh alone hasn't touched, the real gap isn't in phonics. It's underneath it.

NOW! Programs® is built differently. Our NOW! Foundations for Speech, Language, Reading & Spelling® program is designed around how the brain actually develops spoken and written language, from the earliest sound-processing skills all the way up through reading comprehension, math word problems, and reasoning. One evidence-based program, working on the whole system, not just one part of it.

This week we're walking through what that actually looks like, skill by skill. Any age. No blame, no shame, just a clearer picture of what's possible.

NOW! Programs® is an online reading intervention built for kids, te...
