The Children's Dyslexia Center-Madison started its fall tutoring schedule in September with 53 students participating in our program. We currently have five scholars (tutors in training) who are learning the very successful Orton-Gillingham method used at our Center. Our dedicated volunteer Board of Governors continues to meet monthly to oversee all aspects of our Center, and our Fundraising Committee members are busy planning our fundraising efforts for the year.

Center will be closed October 4th and October 24th. All breaks and tutoring schedules are posted on our website .

A grand thank you to everyone for their financial support!

Thank you to every donor and grantor that helps us fulfill our mission. Your collective support enables us to help all children in our community. Because we believe they deserve the opportunity to learn in a way that meets their needs and enables them to succeed, regardless of their family income level, we provide our tutoring services free of charge. Ours is the only program in the community that does this.

"TIME WAITS FOR NO ONE"

Can you believe fall is upon us and another Children's Dyslexia Center academic school year has begun. This is our 18th year with great success and continual growth. We have, also, been faced with an ever growing operating budget. However, we are proud to say that the Center is still able to offer this great program to the public free of charge.

Our entire Board of Governors realizes that all of these accomplishments would not be possible without the GREAT SUPPORT it has received from individuals and groups, like yourselves. THANK YOU very much and please continue to be an active supporter of the Children's Dyslexia Center-Madison.

2017 Annual Report to the Wisconsin Council of Deliberation



"My daughter Jenna was extremely lucky to be offered tutoring through CDC-M. We will forever be indebted to the Madison Dyslexic Center for twice weekly tutoring for almost two years. She has grown by leaps and bounds in not only her ready/writing skills, but her confidence has soared. She has become an amazing advocate for dyslexia and any disabilities and struggles. We are SO thankful to Jenna's tutors and the staff at CDC-M."

"This experience has been nothing but positive for my son. I can't say enough about it and the wonderful people here."

"This has been a wonderful learning experience. McCray truly enjoys coming. Without this help we feel like he would have been lost this past year. Thanks so much!"

Question: What did the Atlantic Ocean say to the Pacific Ocean?

Answer: Nothing. They just waved!

Don’t Quit

When things go wrong as they sometimes will,

When the road you’re trudging seems all up hill,

When the funds are low and the debts are high

And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,

When care is pressing you down a bit,

Rest if you must, but don’t you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,

As every one of us sometimes learns,

And many a failure turns about

When he might have won had he stuck it out;

Don’t give up though the pace seems slow–

You may succeed with another blow,

Success is failure turned inside out–

The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,

And you never can tell how close you are,

It may be near when it seems so far;

So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit–

It’s when things seem worst that you must not quit.
