Dyslexia, a common learning disability characterized by difficulties in reading, affects a significant number of students globally. Estimates suggest that dyslexia impacts between 5% and 10% of the population, with some studies indicating numbers as high as 17%. In educational settings, this means that in a classroom of 30 students, approximately two to three might struggle with dyslexia. Early and accurate diagnosis is crucial, as it allows for the implementation of specialized teaching strategies and interventions that can greatly assist students in overcoming their reading challenges. Despite its challenges, many individuals with dyslexia often excel creatively and can achieve high levels of academic and professional success with the right support. Voice Dream – Read Aloud helps thousands of students who live in Provo.
