Story of the Week
May 21, 2012
The following story was written by Jessalyn, from Victoria, BC. Jessalyn is 18 years old and is enjoying reading for the first time in her life, with consistent one-on-one help. She had difficulty learning to read when she was in elementary school and has attended the READ Society in Victoria on and off since she was in Grade 4. Though she tried other learning programs, she says the individualized help she gets at READ made the difference. Jessalyn recently graduated from high school and is now considering a career in accounting or in the culinary arts.
Story

I buy books at the mall all the time, now that I actually enjoy reading, I feel like I can ask questions whenever I need help.
I like having someone look over my work so I feel confident in what I am handing in.
