Children’s Dyslexia Center – Boston North

If your child or the child of someone you know is having difficulty learning to read in school, it is possible the reason is dyslexia.

Dyslexia is a specific learning disability, which is neurobiological in origin. Nearly 1 in 5 students may have some degree of dyslexia. A key sign that a child may be dyslexic is challenges with decoding words. Decoding refers to the ability to map sounds and letters that allow people to read fluently and with accuracy. At the Children’s Dyslexia Center – Boston North, we pride ourselves on being a local resource for families with children who are dyslexic and could benefit from private 1:1 tutoring. The Center helps children from grade school through high school to improve their reading skills.
