In the state of Texas alone, researchers state that, “Approximately 80% of prison inmates are reported to be functionally illiterate. We hypothesized that poor single word decoding (the chief feature of dyslexia) accounts for a significant percentage of that rate.” (Moody KC, Holzer CE 3rd, Roman MJ, Paulsen KA, Freeman DH, Haynes M, James TN. Prevalence of dyslexia among Texas prison inmates. Tex Med. 2000 Jun;96(6):69-75. PMID: 10876375.

ABOUT THE FOUNDER
Dear Educators and Administrators,
From Dairy Queen to Dreams. No drive through East Texas is complete without a visit to Dairy Queen. It was our turn to order, The young man behind the counter was friendly as one would expect. My guesshe was older than the typical teen doing a summer job. Working for a minimum hourly wage at Dairy Queen is not going to provide for a home and a family. A person with low reading ability, low reading comprehension, and a limited vocabulary will have limited wage-earning options. Reading is foundational to opening up opportunities and possibilities.
65% of the secondary student population are not on reading grade level. (NAEP, 2019). This need not always be the case. The ReadDiscover curriculum, was designed specifically for the secondary student not on grade level reading ability. The ReadDiscover training material uses grade level references and core content vocabulary. The training material is scripted, making it classroom ready day one… results should be recognized within 10-15 days.
With great regards,
Anne
