LEARNING
CENTER NEWS
The Learning Center staff hit the road running in January
2008. The staff put on two dyslexia
simulations: “Walk in the Shoes of a Dyslexic”. A total of 45 parents, grandparents, teachers, tutors, and
Learning Center Board members attended and for two hours experienced the
frustrations that children with dyslexia face on a daily basis. As we wrapped-up
our sessions, we heard comments ranging from “I felt like I was going to
panic”, “Trying to do these things made me very angry”, to “I am
exhausted by this”, and “This made me want to cry”. The group agreed that they gained valuable insight into what
our children go through. The
participants also recommended that we offer this program to the schools for
teacher inservices and we are exploring this possibility with the help of the
Kiwanis Foundation grant the Center received.
Also in January, four new scholars began tutor training and they will
begin tutoring very soon. This
means we have 16 tutors and 33
children being tutored. Four of the experienced tutors have generously been
helping these scholars go through this rather complicated training. Their help
with the practical application is invaluable. We are developing a very effective
training course that can be used in years to come.
We are now preparing for a March visit from our Clinical Director, Dr. David Winters. We are excited to show him what a wonderful Learning Center we have in Cambridge and how the Scottish Rite members, Eastern Stars, Board members, parents, and tutors are all working together as an efficient team to help area children with dyslexia. We are extremely proud of our efforts as well as the progress our children are making. We have come a long way since he last visited our Center.
We continue to say, “Thank you for this wonderful opportunity.” to the Valley of Cambridge Scottish Rite members. You are truly changing lives.
