About Our Founder, Al Dicker
aldickerBelieve it or not, Al Dicker, creator of The Dicker Reading Method, had a big reading problem while he was growing up, and like many struggling students he hated going to school. Whenever he had to read in class, he would become anxious, his palms would get sweaty and his heart would start to race. He was worried about looking stupid in front of the class. What would his friends think? All of these painful memories are why Al Dicker committed himself to wiping out illiteracy; so that no child would have to have the same horrible experiences he did. As a result, many years later, Al developed The Dicker Reading Method. Al launched his career as an educator in the New York City public schools system more than 35 years ago. As a special education teacher he realized that the traditional methods of reading instruction were not working for his students, so he created a new approach: the Dicker Reading Method. Amazingly, his students, many of whom had severe learning disabilities, suddenly began making rapid progress in their reading skills and abilities. Throughout his career, Al served as a reading advisor for the New York City Board of Education and was asked to conduct seminars from New York to Los Angeles. He was also commissioned to teach English to Chinese students in Guiyang, China. Eventually, Al retired from the New York City Board of Education to further expand his reading program, opening a private reading tutoring center in Westchester, NY that serves children of all ability levels. Al and his program have received numerous endorsements, including those of CBS News and Family Circle magazine. Al is still very active at The Dicker Reading Method center and is currently working on an app that he can share with the world. Al Dicker holds a B.S. in psychology from the University of Connecticut and an M.A. in education and special education from NYU.

Is your child reading hesitantly, making mistakes on words, sounding out words, substituting one word for another, or getting to the end of a sentence and not remembering what they read? This is frustrating for you and your child, but it isn’t a problem without a solution. We can work with your child to overcome their reading comprehension problems.
There are 300 small words that beginning readers make mistakes on because they look alike. (i.e. the th words like there and them, words like where and were, or was and saw.) Every time your child makes a mistake on any of these words it’s like a dagger in their heart and they can’t see the next word. They become unfocused and unconcentrated. If they’re making lots of mistakes on these words, they can’t focus on what the story is about. They end up focusing on how stupid they are and then they don’t want to be there. At the Dicker Reading Method and our 1st grade tutoring program, we help your child to gain mastery over their vocabulary and fluency in their reading, overcoming their past struggles and growing into a confident, joyful reader.
