The Dyslexic Edge Academy: Leveling the playing field for all students with dyslexia
We are thrilled to announce that the Booz Allen Foundation has awarded the Dyslexic Edge Academy a Local Equity Grant! Thank you Booz Allen Foundation for this amazing opportunity!
Literacy is an equity issue, one that is critical to the success of our students. Because of both the lack of proper evaluation and intervention in the public schools and the subsequent cost of seeking them privately, many students with dyslexia are denied their right to an equal education. It is not only critical that we help for their sake but also ours, as these children represent our future innovators, scientists, engineers, and entrepreneurs.
Our pilot at Charles E. Drew Elementary was a success with our students not only showing significant process in reading but also all students falling in love with STEM! We will be opening up new Dyslexic Edge Academy sites in the fall so stay tuned!
To make this program a success we need your support! This program will be fully funded through grants and corporate sponsorships so that students will attend at no cost to their families. Currently, we are looking for individuals and organizations who would like to join us in our mission to level the playing field for ALL students with dyslexia, regardless of socio-economic status.
