In 1994, Scottish Rite Freemasons launched the Children’s Dyslexia Centers to teach reading to children with dyslexia. No other national charity has adopted this critical need as a major concern. Although studies revealed the existence of remarkably effective programs for treating dyslexia, no one was addressing the issue and its cost to individuals and society in a systematic way. In 1998, three Centers were established in New Jersey, followed by the opening of three additional Centers.

Since that time, the Scottish Rite Freemasons have been national leaders in the effort to help children and their families overcome the painful obstacles of dyslexia. The Children’s Dyslexia Centers of NJ tackle the challenge of dyslexia both by providing free Orton-Gillingham tutoring for children with dyslexia and by training a growing cadre of highly skilled and dedicated tutors.

The Children’s Dyslexia Center curriculum is based on the Orton-Gillingham approach.

The Orton-Gillingham approach is a multisensory phonics technique for remedial reading instruction developed in the early-20th century.

Children attend tutoring services after school two days a week.

This allows the curriculum to be tailored to each individual child and progress is made in small, readily quantifiable steps.

The Learning Centers provide children with improved reading skills and the confidence they need to approach learning with enthusiasm.

Dyslexia is a language-based learning disability characterized by challenges in specific language skills, particularly reading. It presents a variety of symptoms that hinder individuals from processing written language effectively.

Children who have dyslexia often encounter challenges in various language skills like spelling, writing, and pronunciation of words. The effects of dyslexia can persist across a person's lifetime, though its influence may vary at different life stages.

Contact the Verdon R. Skipper Children’s Dyslexia Center to find out how we can enhance your child's reading abilities and boost their confidence so they can embrace learning with enthusiasm.
