32nd Degree Learning Center for Children

Dyslexia is estimated to affect some 20% of our population - more than 2 million school-age children in the United States. Although these children typically have average or above-average intelligence, their dyslexia can create difficulties not only with reading, writing and spelling but also with listening, thinking, talking and arithmetic. These academic problems can lead to emotional and self-esteem problems throughout their entire lives. With early diagnosis and appropriate instruction, these children can learn - and can enjoy learning - at their own age level. In creating the 32 Degree Masonic Learning Centers for Children, Inc., it has been our mission to provide professional treatment - free of charge to children with dyslexia. Services are made available to children on a first-come, first served basis. We also provide free tutor training to qualified adults using the Orton-Gillingham curriculum model. We're also committed to increasing public awareness of dyslexia as well as improving the standards of care through research and education. In the years that the Children's Learning Centers have been actively engaged in helping children overcome the obstacles of dyslexia, thousands of dyslexic children have received free one-on-one multisensory reading and written language tutoring, and hundreds of school teachers and other individuals interested in becoming certified tutors have received training at no cost. Additionally, the Children's Learning Centers continue to support clinical research programs that focus on dyslexia.

This is a great video.  I've never heard of the masons.  But now that I know of them, I see the symbols in every town I go thru.

Everyone should watch this video, it make the hair on your arms stand up!

I have personally seen the results of the efforts of the Scottish Rite Learning Center. I heard a young girl tell her story of how she could not read a simple story. Now she reads books, and writes papers and reports and is expanding her world everyday. She credited the Learning Center for all her success. This is a terrific and very unselfish organization. Thank you Freemasons!
