Dyslexia refers to any reading difficulty not associated with obvious problems (such as bad eyesight). Dyslexias include the inability to name letters, to read words or sentences, or to recognize words directly even though they can be sounded out.

What have people said your good @?
It is well established that tutoring is a powerful tool in the battle against dyslexia however, by its very nature tutoring is expensive in both time and money, available only where qualified tutors can be found and therefore out of the reach of many families.
So what is a parent to do? I have been evaluating and remediating dyslexics for almost ten years and this question has plagued me to the point where I made it my mission to find or create a effective, efficient and affordable alternative for everyone who has minimal resources.
The result of my quest is a research based program called EduGameStar that is designed to provide any individual with the cognitive and phonological skills that must be in place before someone can be a fluent reader. EduGameStar then teaches the user how to use those skills in order to become a fluent reader. This is all accomplished in a Digital Therapy format that is both fun and highly effective. Thats right we are using video games to provide people of all ages with reading skills and helping them use them.
The Reading & Writing Inst. of Atlanta, has been using this program for some time with dyslexic students overseas and in the United States.
I am now at the point where I would like to offer this unique program to the those dyslexics who cannot obtain traditional help. Toward that end I would like to offer some full and partial scholarships to families in need. For specifics on the program you can visit us at www.edugamestar.com For information on scholarships please contact me directly at wmadigan@rwiga.org.
