About one in five children and adults in the U.S. struggle to some degree with reading, spelling, and writing. These are typically bright individuals who might read slowly or make lots of guesses and mistakes. Spelling is usually even more difficult than reading.  Inaccurate spelling of frequently used and highly practiced words is common. 

School reading programs and specialized instruction are likely not benefiting struggling students who have the potential to learn literacy skills and catch up with their peers.  There is a solution.

Literacy Matters does remedial work with people of all ages. Using structured, evidence-based reading and spelling programs with individualized attention, we can overcome the challenges.

Reading and writing are an integral part of education, jobs, and everyday life. Acquiring literacy skills or improving them, can help us to reach our highest goals.
