“My child has been attending the Centre for Literacy for over 8 years and has benefitted immeasurably from his work with the teachers. Along with his twin brother, the support he’s received has allowed him to succeed in school and life. He’s moved from constant anxiety in grade 2 to being a confident honours student in grade 10”
