What IS a Learning Center?
A Learning Centre is a place
where children are important!
Learning Centres are planned
and established by Freemasons
- a centuries-old men's fraternal
organization.
At the Learning Centres, we help
children with dyslexia to learn
to read. Learning Centres tutor
children individually with the
Orton Gillingham Approach that
accommodates their specific
learning differences in a one-to-
one setting. There is no cost to
the child or family. The sessions
are all after regular school hours.
Starting in London Ontario, using
a model developed in the United States,
Masons in Canada are beginning
to spread Learning Centres
across Canada.
What is Dyslexia?
Difficulties in reading may be the result of dyslexia. The International Dyslexia Association defines it this way:"Dyslexia is a specific learning disability that is neurological in origin. It is characterized by difficulties with accurate and / or fluent word recognition and by poor spelling and decoding abilities. These difficulties typically result from a deficit in the phonological component of language that is often unexpected in relation to other cognitive abilities and the provision of effective classroom instruction. Secondary consequences may include problems in reading comprehension and reduced reading experience that can impede growth of vocabulary and background knowledge."
