The Dyslexia Foundation (TDF), a non-profit organization, was established in 1989 to identify and assist children with dyslexia – to establish higher levels of learning through specialized programs promoting better reading.
But TDF has grown and become even more.
Today, the The Dyslexia Foundation through its benchmark reading program AmericaYesRead! promotes higher levels of literacy for all children. AmericaYesRead! provides an innovative and interactive learning environment that both teachers and K-3 students actually enjoy using. The program is designed, not to replace current reading curriculum, but to enhance and optimize teacher/student interaction through reading comprehension, vocabulary and phonetic exercises.
Teachers find the AmericaYesRead! curriculum easy to integrate into their lesson plans, with a minimal learning curve. They especially appreciate the ongoing diagnostic tools provided – for easy tracking of children’s reading progress.
