Our reading resources assist parents, teachers, and other educators in working with struggling readers who require additional help in reading fundamentals and comprehension skills development.

Personal Stories

Many people who have struggled with reading have found ways to overcome their difficulties. It often takes the understanding of a parent, the committment of a teacher, or the resilience of a child. Some individuals even credit their later success to having had to dig deep when they persevered in school. Read some of their inspiring stories below, as well as those of teachers who work everyday to help kids who struggle. Additional personal stories can be found at LDOnLine.org.
