OHIO COALITION FOR THE EDUCATION OF CHILDREN WITH DISABILITIES

United Readers of America, a non-profit organization, in partnership with the Ohio Coalition for the Education of Children with Disabilities, are taking on the problem of illiteracy, with one-on-one tutoring in the schools. They work with a method of teaching that is proven to solve even the most difficult reading disabilities -children with dyslexia, those who are learning a second language, and children in poverty. Research has shown early, effective instruction can prevent academic casualties. The founders of URA are bringing their skills to two schools in the Columbus area and hope to provide reading tutoring services to more than 60 children this upcoming academic year. But they need your help. The help of people like you who want to give back to their communities and to children and families in need.
