Springfield Center for Dyslexia and Learning

Weekend idea for literacy fun:
🎲 Play word games
🎧 Listen to an audiobook together
📝 Make a summer bucket list
📚 Visit your local library

Learning can happen through everyday moments.

Meet the people behind the support. 🌟 Our goal is to create a safe, encouraging environment where students feel capable, supported, and understood.

Every child learns differently — and that difference deserves to be celebrated.

A reminder for parents: Progress may not always look fast, but every small step matters. ❤️

Celebrating effort, persistence, and confidence-building can make a lasting impact on a child’s learning journey.

You are doing better than you think.

☀️ Summer reading doesn’t have to feel like homework!

For students with dyslexia, learning happens best when it’s fun, engaging, and low-pressure. 📚✨ Try these simple summer activities to build reading skills while making memories:

🎲 Word games like Boggle or Scrabble Junior
🎧 Audiobooks paired with printed books
🍿 Turn on captions during movies and TV shows
📝 Read recipes, menus, road signs, or comic books together
📖 Let kids choose books based on their interests — confidence matters!

🌴 Keep learning playful this summer and help your child stay confident heading into the new school year!

📚 “She’s smart… so why is reading so hard?”

1 in 5 people have dyslexia — yet millions go undiagnosed and unsupported. Dyslexia is NOT a sign of low intelligence. It’s a different way the brain processes language.

Behind every struggling reader is often a child battling:
💔 Frustration
💔 Anxiety
💔 Low self-esteem
💔 Feeling “less than” in a classroom not built for them

But with early identification and the right support, dyslexic students can thrive, succeed, and shine in incredible ways. 🌟

Every child deserves to feel confident when they learn to read.
Let’s replace misunderstanding with awareness — and struggle with support. ❤️

Today we remember the courageous men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Their sacrifice is the reason we enjoy the freedoms we have today. ❤️🤍💙

SCDL wishes you a Memorial Day filled with gratitude, reflection, and remembrance.

☀️ Check "get answers" off your summer bucket list.

If your child struggled with reading this school year, don’t wait until fall to “see if it gets better.” Early dyslexia testing can uncover the WHY behind the struggle — and open the door to the right support. 📚✨

Did you know?
🔹 1 in 5 students shows signs of dyslexia
🔹 Early identification can dramatically improve reading outcomes
🔹 Waiting often increases frustration, anxiety, and loss of confidence

Summer offers a low-stress opportunity for evaluation before a new school year begins. Imagine starting school with a plan, support, and renewed confidence instead of fear and frustration. ❤️

Your child is NOT lazy.
Your child is NOT “behind.”
Your child may simply learn differently — and that’s okay. 🌟

🌴 Use your summer wisely. Invest in understanding your child’s learning needs today so they can thrive tomorrow.
