Reading is for everyone

We at Chippewa River District Library encourage literacy for
everyone, early readers to adults, and believe every individual
has the right to be a good reader. But for some, reading can be a
challenge. It can be frustrating and upsetting when the words just
don’t come together. Additional Reading Help

The English language can be tough to decode for those with U.S. Department of Education
a learning disability or dyslexia and those learning the English
language for the first time. From the Lexia Reading Core5 program Central Michigan University Reading Clinic
to links for professional reading help in Michigan, CRDL has the The Legacy Center for Community Success
resources for those needing to improve their reading skills.
