Fund the Next Chapter - IDA Dallas

Imagine being the child who thinks everyone else can read but you.

You’re sitting in class while other students take turns reading aloud.

As your turn gets closer, you stop listening to the story. Instead, you start counting.

Three kids before me.
Two.
One.

Your heart races.

Maybe you ask to go to the bathroom. Maybe you make a joke. Maybe you act like you don’t care.

Because sometimes it feels easier to be called disruptive than to let everyone know you’re struggling to read.

For too many children with dyslexia, this is where their story begins.

But it doesn't have to be where it ends.

Imagine that same child being connected with a teacher who understands dyslexia and knows how to teach reading differently.

Slowly, letters become sounds. Sounds become words. Words become sentences.

And then one day, that child raises their hand.

“Can I read next?”

That moment may seem small.

To that child, it is everything.

This is why the International Dyslexia Association – Dallas Branch exists. We help families find answers, help educators gain the knowledge and training to reach struggling readers, and help connect our communities with trusted, evidence-based dyslexia resources.

Your North Texas Giving Day gift can help provide student scholarships, teacher scholarships and training, and community education programs that make moments like this possible.

You may never meet the child your donation helps.

But someday, somewhere, a child may open a book without fear because someone like you decided their story was worth investing in.
