The Children’s Dyslexia Center of Southern Illinois helps elementary and high school students overcome the challenges of reading and writing, at no charge to their families. In 10 years of operation, almost 11,000 one-on-one sessions have been given to more than 150 students with reading disabilities by more than 53 professionally trained tutors. The Scottish Rite Masons, Northern Masonic Jurisdiction, are national leaders in helping children and their families overcome obstacles of dyslexia.
