Who We Are
The vast majority of students can learn to read when instructed by a trained teacher or tutor. However, most elementary school teachers are not taught how to teach reading in their undergraduate programs.
Many educators do not understand dyslexia - what it is and is not, how prevalent it is, and how it can be overcome. No one is born with the ability to read; it must be taught and practiced before it can be mastered.
Many struggling readers either don’t have access to an informed instructor or can’t afford one. Therefore, we need more qualified instructors empowered by the “Science of Reading” to help make a difference. Smart Street is here to make that difference.
