Charitable Online Vocabulary Game Provides Reading Program for Child with Learning Disabilities
Reading Horizons, “Lemons for Literacy” program is donating a reading program to its latest spotlight for its charitable online vocabulary game.
Salt Lake City, UT, May 20, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Reading Horizons is awarding a free reading program to Torrence of Indiana, its latest spotlight for the "Lemons for Literacy" online vocabulary game donation program.
Torrence is a 7 year old boy who struggles with reading. He was recently diagnosed with a "learning disability," (his school won't diagnose it as dyslexia). He knows the alphabet and quite a few words but isn't succeeding in school. Now that Torrence has been rewarded Reading Horizons Discover Intensive Phonics reading program, he will be able to start improving his reading skills and gain confidence.
Those who would like to help Reading Horizons sponsor its new spotlight, Mark P. of Georgia, are invited to visit the Reading Horizons website and play “Lemons for Literacy.” This program will help Mark who has struggled with reading all his life and was in special education classes at school. He has become a talented auto mechanic, but has found that without literacy, he can’t run a business. He has tried to teach himself the best he can, trying very hard to keep memorizing words he absolutely has to know to get by, but it hasn’t worked well for him. Out of work now and homeless, he is living in a car.
With Reading Horizons program, Mark, will be able to improve his reading skills and will hopefully be able to overcome his difficulties and improve his living conditions. Anyone can help him by playing “Lemons for Literacy,” a simple, entertaining game in which players match terms with their appropriate definitions. For each correct answer, a lemon is squeezed into a pitcher. With every lemon that is squeezed, the amount that Reading Horizons donates to Torrence increases. Donations will help provide Reading Horizons software for Torrence. The “Lemons for Literacy” website can be found at: http://www.readinghorizonsathome.com/lemonsforliteracy/.
Reading Horizons also has a “Lemons for Literacy” program for schools and other institutions which help struggling readers. Currently the spotlight for this program is Literacy Volunteers of Coconino County. Literacy Volunteers of Coconino County is a privately-funded, community-based, nonprofit organization that works with adults, 16 years and older, who have low literacy skills.
