We Don’t Just Help Your Child Read—
We Help You Know What to Do!

Dr. Bergman changed the trajectory of my son’s life! I am honored to say that Dr. Bergman himself taught me how to work with my son. Explicit reading instruction is key and parent involvement is necessary!
C. Pubchara

In 1981 Dr. Bergman received a phone call from his first-grade son’s private school saying that his son needed to be tested for dyslexia. The caller explained that the first-grader had been removed from the reading class because he was frustrated and acting out.

Finishing her assessment, the former head diagnostician of a large school district told Dr. Bergman, “He shows some dyslexic tendencies, but he is so bright, attentive, and motivated that he will compensate.” Dr. Bergman responded, "Those are nice things you are saying about my son, but if he is so bright that he’ll compensate, shouldn't we be seeing some compensation starting by now?" She hesitated and then said she “hadn’t thought of it that way.” In her final report, she said he had “mild dyslexia” and recommended a local synthetic phonics program.

Very slow progress in that program over the next four years led Dr. Bergman to become involved in reading research and to open a non-profit center to teach students to read. He developed what is now being called Explicit Instruction.
